Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

James was my radio car partner in the 28 Precinct. He was a veteran, a husband, a father, a gentleman and a great friend.

James,

I remember working Sector Eddie with you many years ago. I remember getting a gun run and thinking this is it, and then you drove the car so slowly. I was talking to Will about that a week or so ago, and we were laughing. Though I'm no longer on the job, I miss your easy smile and calm attitude. I hope you're at peace. It was a pleasure to work alongside you.

Things haven't been the same since you passed on. I miss calling you up and telling you funny stories about things that could only happen to me :o). Every now and then whenever something funny happens, for a quick moment, I think to myself "let me call James" and then reality sets in. You were the best brother and I miss you very, very much. You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten. I love you.
