Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I didn't want to let the holiday season pass without remembering to tell you how very much you are missed. I think about you all the time, especially now. Continue to watch over us. Love you.

Sentner,

I miss you man. Your time here was way too short, but I am sure you are keeping 'em real in Heaven so The Man must have needed you more up there. RIP my brother.

My heart breaks as I view this memorial page. I'd wondered what become of the nicest young man I'd ever met. I see he served the public well. I'm not surprised at the kind posts. You see, I knew Special Agent William Sentner as "Billy". He sat next to me in typing class in high school. As I mentioned, he was the kindest soul. If I'm remembering correctly, he'd moved from New Jersey to Rockville. It's a blessing to see he remained such a special person. He's in heaven rejoicing. His service, as well as those he served with, and those across this country, I wish to say thank you for all you've done and continue to do to protect us!!

Hey, Agent Sentner;

I was writing to one of the Tampa Police Officers that was taken from us on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, when I started thinking of you. I remembered some of the advice you gave me when you conducted our annual refresher training just 3 months before that horrible day. I moved on from the Bureau of Prisons to become a Special Agent with ICE. I hope that I can be half as good an agent as you. You will always be remembered as a true hero.

Buddy, on Tuesday two officers in Tampa were killed in the line of duty. A couple of weeks ago, I lost an uncle. I really hate the month of June, I feel like bad things always happen in June. Nonetheless, there are always times that it feels like some awful nightmare, and then there are times that I feel like it was yesterday. I still sometimes have so much anger, but that's because it should have never happened. I will always struggle with that. On a lighter note, Leave it to you to leave us on the longest day of the year! I never forget Buddy, I can't and won't because you're the reason I'm still here. I've moved on as you can see, but I still hope for change. I still preach your heroism. I still visit the memorials when I can. It's still hard at times because I know things should have been different. I hope that if not in my time in this job, there will be something good and positive that comes from your death, and not just the memorializing of it. Personally, I want you to know that I have been blessed and those that mean the most to me will always know who William "Buddy" Sentner was and what he means to us!

Buddy-you were a good friend at PHX and one of the best interviewer's I have ever seen to this day. I am truly amazed to this day at the true act of valor you exhibited on this day. I say the word amazed, but not surprised. I always knew that you were the person that would have someone's back and that you would take care of business. Buddy, I keep your name from the National Memorial Wall hanging on my office wall as a reminder that you are the type of person I will want to be if put into that bad situation. The type of person who doesn't back down, will finish the fight, and will make sure that others are protected. Your family is in my family's prayers always. You are definitely not forgotten Buddy.--

Hey Buddy,

I was at FCI Tallahassee the other day. Its the first time I have ever been there. It felt as if I were visiting a historic landmark where a hero made his last stand. Even though I was not there, the events of that day ran through my head and I could almost clearly see where you were and I watched as you saved so many lives. It took my breath away and I had to pause as I walked up the steps to the lobby. It was a surreal moment for me.

Right there at that moment, I was feeling a wide range of emotions. However, I would have to say the overwhelming feeling I had was one of honor and pride, for having the privilege of knowing you.
