Dear Brother,
A line is made up of millions of dots. Remove one of those dots and the line suddenly becomes incomplete. Each time a brother falls from the "Thin Blue Line" this line too, becomes incomplete. I know that you will be missed by your family, friends, and co-workers. REST IN PEACE MY DEAR BROTHER, YOUR JOB ON EARTH HAS FINISHED, BUT YOUR WORK IN HEAVEN HAS JUST BEGUN. GOD HAS SAID "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS".

Our deepest condolensce to the Lebow family. Although I didn't know Rick that long, having our sons play baseball together over the summer allowed me to get to know this special person. Rick was always there for his family and friends. My prayers will be with them.

Rick,
I have to admit that when I first met you five years ago as a dispatcher with Franklin County, I was so intimidated by you. However, that changed within five minutes of talking to you, and hearing you laugh. I will never forget that laugh.
You never failed to treat me with respect, Rick, which I will always remember. Although you were taken from us so unexpectedly, I know that you are in a more beautiful place than we could ever imagine. You walk with God now Rick, and I know that you would not have it any other way. I hope that we touched your heart the way that you have touched ours.

Thank you H-5.

When I was 14-years old, my entire family was involved in a head-on collision on Arkansas Highway 23 in northern Franklin County, Arkansas. My father was killed. My mother suffered a severe head injury. My sisters and brother were injured. I stayed home alone that night. I had fallen asleep. I was awakened by knocking on the front door, which we never used, so I knew something was wrong. Trooper LeBow and one of my father's co-workers came inside. LeBow explained that there had been an accident. He said my mother was badly hurt and that my siblings were injured but would be ok. I noticed he hadn't mentioned my father. LeBow then told me my father didn't make it, that he had died. I felt the blood drain from by body. In shock, I fell forward into Trooper LeBow and clutched his huge Arkansas State Police jacket and cried or screamed or something. I can't really remember. What I do remember is that LeBow was very compassionate. I could tell he was upset too. Since this was 1982, he must have been a very young trooper, and was maybe working the worst wreck he'd ever seen. Once I was able, I got into Trooper LeBow's cruiser for the 20-minute ride to the hospital. I was still in shock I'm sure, but remember asking a lot of questions. LeBow continued to be comforting and positive about how much my brother and sisters would need my support. I'll never forget his kind words and caring on the worst night of my life. As the years went on, I got to know Rick well. I had friends who worked for the Franklin County, Arkansas Sheriff's Department and often rode with them on duty. We'd see Rick often. I always felt a special bond with him, and I think he felt the same way. Perhaps it's what soldiers feel who've been in combat together, I don't know. What I do know is that Rick LeBow touched my life in a profound way. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I have been in law enforcement for 11 years now, and still this past weekend i found myself learning from Rick. There was nothing you couldn't talk to him about. Rick was always willing to listen and give you advice and it was usually the right advice. Rick was an excellent police officer and a very good friend that will be missed by all of his fellow officers..

Rick...
Words cannot describe my pain and disbelief when I received the phone call. This is still not real to me yet as it is very hard for me to accept! I feel like you will call me tonight to schedule the next pitching lesson for your son. I will deeply miss the times we spent together coaching the kids, umpiring together, and the ballgames we went to with our boys. The selfish part of me is deeply hurt and saddened though I know you are now in the presence of our Lord engulfed in His Peace and Love! This world will never again be the same without you. Rest well my Dear Friend...I will forever miss you until I see you again in Heaven.

LeBow Family...
We are continually praying for you all that God will give you Peace, Comfort, and Wisdom as you go through this very difficult time. We are here for you any hour, for any need, anytime! We Love you...all of you! As for you son...Let's finish what we started! Let's get you to the Major Leagues! Let's do it for You, for your Family, and most of all... let,s do it for Dad! LeBow Family, Thank you for your Friendship. We are here for you always. God Bless you...
