Our thoughts and prayers are with the Petzold famaily. A good man was lost. You will be in our prayers.


Weep Not For Me

For I have Seen

The streets of Gold

and grass so green

Here the sun shines so strong

And the clouds so few

For what I've seen

I wish you knew

I am with you

My Brothers and Sisters in Blue

So be Kind, loving and strong

And keep always true

Here I'll be forever more

Amongst the clouds

I've past through Heavens door

My friends and loved ones

Please understand

I am next to GOD

In his Promised Land...

Officer Petzold was the only officer that I ever knew that was as caring as he was. I never met a police officer who was more considerate than Officer Pezold. He was definetly one in a million. I can't believe that he is gone. I just saw him last night at the CVS/Pharmacy in Coopersburg. He was as friendly as ever as he smiled and said hello to me. I will never forget him. He was a wonderful person. God bless him and his family. Rest in peace Officer Petzold.

I have spent many hours with Officer Petzold throughout my life. He was my D.A.R.E. officer at St. Michael the Archangel Middle School. He was an amazing man who helped many people to understand the important information he was sharing with us. He made everyone very comfortable and at ease. I feel very fortunate to have met him and he had a very strong impact on my life. My condolonces to his family and close friends. My prayers are with you and Officer Petzold. God Bless.

Officer Petzold was my DARE teacher at the middle school and he was always full of life and energy, and always had a way to make us laugh. He truly was a great man. He understood us, and people were crazy not to love him. He will be mised. My prayeres are with his family.
