"God only cries for the living
'cause it's the living that are left to carry on
All the Angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place
Than all they've ever known."
May the Lord's peace and comfort be with all of you left behind, we remember your hero with you. God Bless.

Sgt Plouff,
I just wanted to thank you for being a great coworker. I always enjoyed talking to you and visiting with you on the rare moments you had to come up to KLS and see us. We miss you and will never forget you. Your WSPD family will always be there for Joyce and the girls. You should be very proud of them. Your girls are exceptional..

May your family have peace in knowing that you were a real hero. It is sad that any officer must lay down his or her life in a civilized country to protect others. My prayers are with the Plouff family and the WSPD. I have dealt with the WSPD on a personal level, and they are absolutely the GREATEST. Sgt. Plouff, rest in peace, my brother, we will take it from here.

Our Hero Of Blue
Our hero of blue has fallen
A time of peace is calling
For you to go with God above
He'll give you wings of blue with love
To send a message for everyone
To remember a life and what was done
A dream fulfilled of our angel of blue
We honor you for the job you swore to do
A promise was kept from a hero like you
You put your life on the line each day
To protect and serve in everyway
And to give you thanks we will do our part
To share your message and to keep you in our heart
This is dedicated to all Police Officers and Families

Considering retirement, weekly I ponder "Heads-Carolina / Tails-California." February 2007 proved to be an ugly month for the Carolina (North and South)Law Enforcement Community. May the souls of our fallen brothers Rest-In-Peace (sigh)...

Sergeant Plouff i didnt know you but everyday that i think about your death and how you were doing what you loved to do, i find myself tearing up,as i sit here and read some of the reflections i have to fight back the tears, i guess because i think about how your wife and children are feeling i can only begin to imagine. I just wanted to thank you for all you have done. We will keep you in our prayer, and definantly in our thoughts everyday, to you and your wife and kids. We will miss you dearly.

"Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for a friend." Howard was an inspiration to us all. Friendly, caring, serious and witty are only a few words to describe him. A leader who always led from the front. You will be truly missed my brother, but rest assure, your presence will stay with us forever. Go rest high brother. Job well done! Until we meet again......
