Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was just reminiscing recently about the fun times we had working during Essence Fest. You had some fun stories about working the event. Really good times. Blessings to you and your family. You are truly missed.

Didn't know you nearly long enough, as I met you at 25yoa. The short time that we spent together, you were a man that i admired. Notwithstanding the missing time, we had very similar interest. Which is probably why we got along so quickly, and spoke so often. Thank you for your acceptence of me. Thank you for your help with my issues. If only I was with you on that night. I will never forget you. I will forever speak your name even to strangers.

I just want to thank you all who knew my brother. Thelonious showed his leadership in many ways. During Katrina, I would call him several times from the Dome. Never left his post. That was just a small fraction of his loyalty and concern. "I miss him dearly". He would have enjoyed Hawaii. "A HUI HOU" (till we meet again) your sister Bebe

It really angers me when senseless things like this happen. My only
consolation is that reckoning day is coming. Thank you for your many
years of dedicated service, Officer Dukes. My heart goes out to you,
your family and any law enforcement officer who puts his life on the
line every day.
