Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Joe: It's hard to beleive that a year has gone by already, it still seems like yesterday that you were taken from us. You would be very proud of your family, co-workers, friends and the whole community for everything they have done in your honor in the past year. Thank you all for your continued support. We miss you and love you.

~~~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~~~

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, so won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.

Big Fella,
One year ago today is the last time we spent together. It seems like yesterday when we were working at Pauls house and how funny it was when the 2x4 fell down and hit you in the head. If I only knew that it was going to be our last time together I would have like to say thank you for everything. Thank you for playing as kids. Thank you for being a hunting and fishing partner. Thank you for getting me into the bars when I was underage. Thank you for introducing me to Mandy. Thank you for constinly harassing me about hunting,softball, and work. You harassing me made me stronger and better at whatever I was trying to do. And most of all thank you for always being there when I needed you.
I miss you and think of you every day.

Its been a year but it seems like yesterday. Joe, your memory inspired your fellow officers to pull together and bring them to justice. They all worked side by side in the quest to find those who did this to you. You were with us.

The community played such an important part in helping that effort along. It was YOUR community, the hometown that you served so valiantly.

May you rest is peace brother, it is cops like you who we all look up to.

Joe, You and I never met, but from all the great things that I have heard and read about you it would have been an honor to have worked with you in the future once I recieved my BA in criminal justice and was working in the field. God bless and may you rest in peace.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. We remember all of our special Valentine's dinners - the last one being the year Kaitlyn was born - special for 2 reasons, newborn Kaitlyn joined us, although she was asleep, and sadly it turned out to be our last Valentine's Dinner together. We miss you.
Love,

Joe we missed you in the NHFD softball this year.It isn't the same without you at games or pratices. We came in 2nd place this year. We made it that far because we wanted to honor you and you gave us strength through the season. Please watch over us. I know you are everyday and night. Rest in peace Joe. Joe to honor you for my Whitestown little league I took the #28 because it was a special number and you were the best any bosy could have as a friend.

Dear Joe,
Carrie gave birth to the Callan twins today. Matt had asked if it was okay if they named one of the babies, Joseph, after you. I considered it an honor. He will certainly know everything about his namesake. We love you.

My dearest brother,
It has taken me a while to feel like posting something to you here. Though, I find it easier here than at the gravesite or Byrne Dairy. It is hard to image what a hole in your heart feels like, but, now I know. You have always given so much of yourself to everyone around you and we are all so blessed with the years and hours that we had with you. The first year mark is soon approaching and I cannot believe it has been this long. It truly feels like a week has gone by. We continue to honor and remember you in every way that we can...and we will do that forever! I promise. I know you are with us in our sad times and our happy times...I just wish you were closer.
I miss, love and think about you every day, Bo!
Continue to give me, and all of us, the courage to find the good and worthwhile things in everyday life.

My dearest Joe,
I've been thinking for a few weeks as to what I would like to tell you. Firstly, we all held our heads high. We laughed at the printer problem and cried when we heard your last laugh. And cried harder when we heard you say you were on foot pursuit. Those were the last words you were ever going to say. We watched that scumbag walk past us every day. He would laugh with his lawyer on occasion. But, we had the last laugh. I could sense you sitting next to us waiting for the verdict. Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. He clapped after each verdict was read. Too bad.. Two down and two more to go. We all will be there again and again. I put the newspaper at the Byrne Dairy and the grave. And then I kept my promise... I called you on your cell phone and left the message about the trial and how much you are dearly missed and loved. Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you and shed a few tears. Katy's birthday is Saturday. She is 2 now. At least you had one birthday to celebrate with her. It's hard to believe a year has almost gone by. It seems like yesterday. I am still waiting to wake up from this terrible nightmare. Rest my loving son.

Its two down two more to go! Today the Jury came back with the only possible verdict and did so quickly. Now we just have to wait for the other two to be tried as well. I pray that the rest of the justice will come quickly.

To Joe's family including his family of blue, God Bless and know that you are not alone!
