FINAL CALL

An angel in the sky must leave his place of rest,
Gently tucking his wings beneath his armored vest.
For duty has called, there is much work to do,
Little did He know, this one’s dressed in blue.
Arriving on the scene, He knows just what to say,
“Follow me my fallen Brother, I’ll show you the way.”
“Your duty here has ended, now Your work is through.”
“Come rest your hat beside mine...for I’m a cop too.”

Rest in peace sir. We have the watch.

Bob worked for me or I should say with me on several special assignments in the Williamsburg area. Bob was always willing to go the extra few steps to make the assignments enjoyable with his smile that was always on his face. He was certainly a fine example of what the Virginia State Police stand for. He served his State and County well

It takes a special officer to work the county. Many officers in more highly populated areas will never fully grasp the dangers and sights. Thank you for taking on the challenge for the betterment of the Commonwealth. My heart goes out to your wife and children. Requiem in pacem, sheepdog, "you've done your time in hell".

Sir,

You have not died in vane. Your shift is not over, you must stay 10-8. Like Det. Orr and those who have come before you there is still work for you to do. One day (hopefully not in the near future) their will be an Officer/Deputy who is alone and in pain. They will be looking for someoune to comfort them and show them the way home. That is when you will be called upon to finish your shift. Rest now brother, we will finish what you have started.
