43 years on the job and it ends this way, during Police Week at that. Too many officers have been lost this week. My heart goes out to your department and Dep. Habelt's and Dep. Ogburn's families. God speed, guys, I salute you.

On Memory
When you remember me, it means that you
have carried something of who I am with you,
that I have left some mark on who I am on who you are.
It means that you can summon me back to your mind
even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me,
and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost.
~Frederick Buechner

Rest in Peace
