Rest in peace bro. Hopefully Pennsylvania lawmakers will be as disgusted as I am that the cause of your and your family's pain has been released from prison. What a disgrace.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

Patrolman Barclay was obviously a fighter. He survived being shot and fought on to survive all those years after being shot. What a sad ending, but at least he is no longer in pain and suffering from the wound he sustained years ago. He is now back in service patrolling in a better place. RIP Patrolman!

Patrolman Barclay, you are a true hero and I salute you. You suffered a long time at the hand of another for this we say we are sorry you had to endure so much. Your suffering is now over and you will have eternal life and everlasting peace with our Lord in heaven. The forty year since the tragic day will seem like a drop in the bucket compared to what you now get to spend with Jesus in heaven. Rest easy my friend, God knows you've earned it!
