Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I had the honor to be asked to do your "Last Call." And though I hold this as an extreme honor, it was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my communications career. Though I did not know you well, I do know that you were an excellent Deputy, Family man, and friend. You will never be forgotten. Your family is blessed with the knowledge that everyone you came in contact with you is blessed just becasue they knew you. Rest in peace

Beebs, words cannot express how much I miss you. I keep thinking this is all a dream. It was a pleasure to spend those six months sitting next to you in the academy (except when you got sick and had to sit in the back of the classroom, that was a pretty hard week for me). You were always there when I needed you. You made the academy easier, always making us laugh. You were the most honest, caring, and dedicated person I have ever met.
About the bet we made, I realize you already made it (Tina told me.) But, if I can be just half the Deputy you were I think I will do ok. I will never forget you. Please watch over all of us, as I'm sure you will.
Don't worry about Tina and Jesse, your extended family will be there for them.
Thanks Beebs for being in my life!

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND


One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. Each scene, he noticed, began with two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that at times along the path of his life, the pattern altered, so that there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really troubled him and he questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I’ve noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


Aloha brother..

Bill,
It is impossible to put into words the way that we are feeling at this time. I am so glad that we ran into you on Saturday night and I will forever remember the last thing that you said to me. I'll never forget how excited you were when you found out that you were accepted into the accademy, how hard you worked and how determined you were. If I could see you one last time, I would give you a hug and say Thank you.
Thank you for being a great friend to me and an even better friend to my husband. Thank you for always caring about my son. Thank you for being in my wedding. Thank you for making our streets safer. Thank you for being so smart. Thank you for being so witty. Thank you for always putting a smile on our face.
It was a blessing to have known you and I look forward to the day we meet again.
All our love!

The world was definitely a better place with Bill in it. Whenever he would meet someone new, he would say, "It's a pleasure to meet me!" He would say it jokingly, but it really was a pleasure knowing him. I just want Bill to know that we are going to be there for Tina and Jesse and his parents if they need anything. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, so, I'll just say, Well Done, and God Bless!

We miss and love you,

I was so overwhelmed by the response on this website from so many agencies worldwide. He would be so proud. Thank you for all of the kind words. I would like to say I am doing better but I think I am worse. Our story was so full of love and happiness. I just keep waiting for him to come home. When he came home at night he would be undoing his belt keepers as he walked up the steps and I heard him every night. He loved his job so much that I was jealous everyday for I wished I had a job I could be so passionate about. He always had the right thing to say and he picked me up so many times as he did to everyone he touched. He would be so proud of our boy, Jesse, he is only 9 but he is so strong for me. The Harford County Sheriff's Office family have made this process be easier for Jesse and I and Mom and Dad Beebe,...we are so grateful. He followed all the rules no matter how little, He loved his Mama(Debbie), and gave so much of himself to Scouts, Work, Friends, and of course family. At first I was lonely and missed him so much we passed each other alot when he was put on 4-12am but He said he was needed the most there. I supported him in everything he did and in turn he supported our boy Jesse. I take each day as it comes but I have no idea how I will ever love, smile or make it without you My Love. You were my Knight in Slightly Dull and you told me when we first met that with my love I made you shine. I hope I did. I MISS YOU, help me make it for Jesse. Please watch over me and make me do what I need to do for him. All my Love Forever, Princess

Beebe (my favorite deputy) a.k.a "Mr. 732":

Well, yesterday was my first day back to work since all this happened. I'm not sure why I decided to go because I knew I wasn't ready yet but I felt like you would've wanted me to be there... but it was SO hard. Things definitely aren't the same on our shift without you here... I really miss your infamous "10-4, 10-76!" and didn't know how much I took that for granted until I realized I'd never hear it again. I'm not going to work today. I need a few more days... but I feel like it will be more like an eternity before the hurt goes away.

I wish I had told you before how much you meant to our shift and what a pleasure it was working with you... but I still hope you had some idea of just how fond we all were of you as both a person and a deputy.

When I saw you on that ambulance call earlier in the afternoon on Monday, I wish I had some way of knowing that it would be the last time I saw you alive. I never in a million years could've imagined that a few hours later you'd be one of MY patients on that ambulance and that we would be trying so hard to save your life! I wish I had the opportunity to hug you one last time and to express to you just how much I appreciated you just being YOU! It has been my privilege to know you and to work with you and to become your friend... it was my honor to hear you introduce me to your family as your "favorite dispatcher" and to have you tell me I was "the best dispatcher ever" even at times when I felt like I sucked. I will never forget you or the many times you've made me laugh or smile. Your life has left footprints on my heart that will never go away and your death has given me a deeper appreciation for life.

I know you were with us that day for the funeral... when the sun peeked out of those dark clouds, I felt like you were there. Wasn't everything beautiful? All that for you! You would be so proud of Tina & Jesse and your parents... and of course your classmates. Everyone did so well under the circumstances. But we all need you to keep watching out for us and to keep letting us know that everything is going to be ok... that YOU'RE going to be ok. Don't think I'm crazy if I just talk to you sometimes, ok? It makes me feel better and I'm sure you're listening to me!

Rest in peace, my friend... we'll take it from here. We love you and miss you...

~ your "favorite dispatcher",

Our brother has been taken and gently laid to rest; Fate seems so cruel at times to only take the best. While those who care for no one are left to walk life's street; Bringing less joy than sorrow to those whose path they meet. Our brother lives forever if only in our minds; He'll never be forgotten nor ever left behind. He'll stand before us always as if to guide our way; Through all our tasks and duties awaiting us each day. Our brother has been taken and though we wonder why; We'll still perform our duties as days then weeks go by. We'll travel where fate leads, through days of dark or fair; Until we stand for Roll Call beside our brother there!

Bill, we buried you today. It was the hardest day of my 14 years as a cop and I miss you, brother. It was an honor to be one of your supervisors - you made my job easy. When you joined Honor Guard never did I ever imagine that one day we would be saluting you one day. We miss you, may you rest in peace, you have earned it.
