Reflections for Trooper Andrew J. "AJ" Sperr
Just thinking about you today. I still can't believe you are gone. Your loss has changed the way I look at things. Thank you for that.

Sue,
I met Trooper Sperr's sisters at NPW.
I want you to know that unfortunately there is a large group of us that weren't yet married to our officers but we were/are deeply in love and have been devastated by their deaths. However, we help support one another as we grieve and work towards carrying on without our guys. I can connect you with the founder of our web posting site if you like so you can be added.
Please contact me if you ever want to "talk". I will understand ANYTHING you are feeling. Over the past 4 years, 4 months and 5 days I have experienced every possible thought and emotion a human being can feel.
I'm here if you need me
I'll be praying for you.

Trooper Sperr,
I was able to briefly meet your sisters at National Police Week in DC this week. You are sorely missed and greatly loved. Please watch over them as they travel down the long road of healing. I wish I could just wrap my arms around them and make all the pain go away.
Thank you for your service. Rest in peace.

Andy- thinking of you today and always, along with Sue, the girls and your entire family. George is going to run tomorrow and the kids and I are going to walk in honor and in memory of you. We keep your picture in the kitchen to remind us all of the sacrifice that you made on March 1st and to remind us of what is important in life. We will never forget. How could we? My only regret is that I never had the chance to meet you. I missed out on getting to know such a great person. After meeting all of your family, I now know why. We are also going to DC next month to honor you and to be there for your family. They are such class acts. We love them all and will be there for them FOREVER. They are part of your second family, the NYSP family. We will do whatever we can to keep your memory alive. Tell Dad we miss him and love him too. The pain never goes away. Send us all some strength. We all could use it.

A friend told me that I need to get on with it, AJ...get on with my life. There is no "getting over it," but at some point a person needs to get "on with it." I don't know if I am there yet...too many painful reminders of our friendship, but when I reach that point AJ, I want you there with me. God, I miss you brother.

Uncle A.J.- I still can't belive that you are gone. I keep getting stuck on that march 1st day. I just can't accept it. I love you so much and can think of you so proudly, but not without tears. I can't help it. I miss you so much. Go tell Christopher Reeve that he wasn't the only superman for me. -Halloween Host

To AJ and the entire Sperr Family. It's taken me a few extra days to leave this reflection. Mostly due to the fact that AJ and Joe were murdered so close together. I remember it like it was yesterday. We didn't even have had Joe's wake yet and the news came about AJ. I never knew a heart could break in oh so many ways. I think of your family often. We had a nice talk with your parents at Joe's Mass. I thank them for coming to it. I also want to thank the other family members that leave reflections on Joe's site. It means alot to me. I read the letter that one of your sisters wrote about the death penalty for cop killers. We are 100% behind her. I hope you have met Joe and are keeping the streets in heaven safe. You are a hero and will never be forgotten. God Bless you all.

ONE YEAR HAS PASSED SINCE YOUR TRAGIC DEATH. YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS REMAIN IN OUR PRAYERS. YOUR KILLERS WILL NEVER AGAIN WALK THE STREETS TO ROB BANKS OR HURT ANYONE ELSE. THEY TRIED TO BE SLICK TO GET MEDICAL AID, BUT THAT WOULDN'T FLY WITH YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. THEY SAW RIGHT THROUGH IT, AND BROUGHT THEM TO JUSTICE. FOR THAT WE ARE THANKFUL. YOUR HEROISM WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED TROOP.

One year has passed and the 1st anniversary has arrived of you being called away. For some this year has passed like it was just yesterday that they heard your voice, your smile and felt your tender touch. For others it has seemed like an eternity. I know your loved ones have thought of you ever day and will continue to do so and the silent tears will continue to fall from the many broken hearts left behind. You are a true hero and heroes never die. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol, you will never be forgotten.
