Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Miss you Joe


Cop on the Take

First he takes the oath.

Now look at all he takes.

He takes it in stride when people call him pig.

He takes time to stop and talk to children.

He takes your verbal abuse while giving you a ticket you really deserved.

He takes on creeps you would be afraid to even look at.

He takes time away from his family to keep you safe.

He takes your injured child to the hospital.

He takes the graveyard shift without complaint because it's his turn.

He takes his life into his hands daily.

He takes you home when your car breaks down.

He takes time to explain why both your headlights have to work.

He takes the job no one else wants--telling you a loved one has died.

He takes criminals to jail.

He takes in sights that would make you cry.

Sometimes he cries too, but he takes it anyway because someone has to.

If he is lucky, he takes retirement.

He takes memories to bed each night that you couldn't bear for even one day.

Sometimes, he takes a bullet.

And yes, occasionally he may take a free cup of coffee, but always leaves a tip.

Then one day he pays for all he has taken, and God takes him.

Please remember that the "He" in all this represents all police officers, both men and women who have served and are serving our cities and their citizens we have all sworn to protect.

Blessed are the peace keepers!

Joe:

You were an amazing Police Officer. You loved your job and did it well, but there is one job you did even better - you were a tremendous father!!!!!

Happy Father's Day

I miss you and think about you every day!
I miss all the family get togethers and all the memories of high school and when we were kids. You were not just my cousin, you were my friend!

Daddy,
I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day! I miss and love you so much. Not a day goes by that Mommy doesn't tell me stories about you and how much you loved me when you were here with us. I know you are looking out for me and are amused by my antics. I am two...but I sure am cute, just like my Daddy..everyone tells me so. Your friends at the NHPD take really good care of Mommy and me and they come visit and play with me all the time. Its not the same as having you...but it helps make us not so sad. Boomer and Casey miss and love you, you were their daddy too.

Joe,
It feels like a hundred years ago that God took you from us and the next minute it seems like yesterday. That fatefull night is played in my mind over and over again. I keep trying to figure out what could have been done to keep you with us... but it doesn't happen that way. Aunt Pat and I planted flowers at the grave today. I sat there asking myself...WHY....WHY YOU. You had so much to live for, so much to look forward to, so many plans and a beautiful baby girl that you adored. I still don't know if you are ok. That is very important for a mother to know,but... I miss you so very much. Many tears are shed every day. I go to sleep with tears in my eyes and tears when I wake up. I expect to see your truck pull in the driveway and the dogs run out. I miss being able to call you and our family dinners. I was able to do the family impact statement. He WILL rot in hell. The the other 2 will also. My heart stops every time I see a police car. Your smile and that laugh.. oh what a laugh. We all were able to hear that wonderful laugh on your last transmission to the dispatchers. It did bring a smile (and tears) to our faces. It was an honor to honor you in Washington DC and the honors continue. The community has been wonderful. You will alsways be in my heart. Some days I feel like giving up the fight.. but for whatever reason I keep going. There is nothing worse than burying a child of yours. You'd be very proud of your little squirt. She looks like you and has the same twinkles in her eyes and her smile... Happy 2nd Fathers Day away from Katy. Some day she will know about her Dad.

With all my love, Mom

June 16, 2007

Joe,
I so miss seeing your smile and the sparkle in your eyes when you laughed. So many things....not a day goes by that you are not missed and loved so very much.

I just learned of this tragic loss when I heard the news about the sentencing of your killer. What a sad day it must have been when you were taken; I know it will never bring you back, but justice has been served and your killer will NEVER be released.

To Officer Corr's family, friends and coworkers: You are not alone in your mourning - the whole police community grieves with you as if he were our own husband, son, father, brother and fellow officer. I pray that you will find strength in the days ahead to continue living in a manner he would be proud of.

Joe,
Hey Buddy, I just wanted to say hi and tell you I miss you. I have been to your lying place a couple times a week to say hi and say prayers! I have known you for just about 10 years and remember all the great times at St. E's and the times you, Tracie and I met for lunch and I miss that! I want you to know something! I decided a few months before your death that i wanted you to be my best man in my wedding and Lisa kept telling me "You need to ask him if you want him to be your best man". I told her "I will we have almost alittle over 2 years away before we are getting married and I will ask him next time I see him". Well that say never came so I wanted you to know that! I has been a while since I have been able to come to this sight and read the reflections and leave you this note. Joe your are a great Hero. Lisa bought me a Heroes Live Forever braclet a few days after your passing and I have not taken it off but only once to wash the greese from working on my truck off from it. I look and it all the time and think about you everyday! Well Joe I just wanted to say hi and tell you I am thinking about you! Make sure you protect the gates and you have alot of great partners with you now.

Joe,
I just wanted to say what a wonderful family you have (especially your grandfather Dan). I had the pleasure of meeting your parents, grandparents, sisters and your wife at the candle light vigil during the law enforcement memorial week in Washington, DC. Joe just know from the few days I shared with your family, I relaized how special and close you were to all of them. I could see how proud and sad they are to lose you to such a senseless event. I spent the most time with your grandfather, Dan, talking about politics, notre dame football and YOU of course!! I found your name on the wall, which is on the same side as my brother-in-law, Officer Jeremy Chambers, E/O/W 04-24-2006. Take care up brother in blue. Thanks for your service and courage!!

Your friend,

As long as we can love eachother, and remember the feeling of love we had, you can die without really going away.

All the love you created is still there. All of the memories are still there.

You live on-in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nutured while you were here.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Joe, Love never dies or goes away. In our hearts, you are here with us each and every moment of every single day.

May 3, 2007

Not a day goes by that you are not missed and still loved so very much. I miss your smile, your laugh, you ability to make everything ok. Nothing has been "ok" since you were taken away.

May 3, 2007

Joe justice was served. But that is still not going to take away the pain of losing you. With the death of officer Lindsey it brought the emotions of your passing came back to the your brother fire fighters hearts. But that emotion will never leave. We all miss you and your legend will live on through your family and Katie. Joe help us through the softball season and " shine your light forever". God has two good officers up there with him.
