It is had been said that every time a cop enters heaven, the scene turns a spectacular blue for just a while. Heaven is blue and has welcomed home our brother Deputy Sheriff Warren"Skip" York. May God comfort and wrap his arms around this loyal officer who wore the "Thin Blue Line." Thank you for your service.****

For Deputies Burton Lopez and Warren York:
Our brothers, Deputy Burt Lopez and Skip York, responded to a domestic dispute. We have all gotten this call. The question is always -- what will we encounter? We are tense, but it eases when we learn it is just another dispute. But then the worst happens. An irrational, crazed or simply hateful indiviual strikes at the officers. In a few seconds it is over. Law officers who are trained to quell disputes, without arrest if possible, are dead. Murdered. Struck down by surprise -- by a coward. A suicidal maniac that will threaten other officers forcing them to kill him. Now he will escape having to face his deeds. It is the path that cowards choose. It is the only one they know.
I fully surpport the brotherhood that exists among all who wear the badge. It is honorable and worthy that we place ourselves at high-risk for the public. And, for one another. We are soldiers-of-law.
As a retired state trooper and a retired deputy sheriff(Lake County, FL) I grieve for the family, co-workers and all who know and respect both Burt and Skip. I pray that they will survive this tragedy intact.
To both of these courageous and valiant law officers I render a final salute.

To say the Skip was a great man does not due him justice. Skip was a great solider, father, husband, role model and HERO to everyone who calls the United States of America home. I have known Skip since i was a young child and he was always there in times of need for my family and others. I know that you still watch over us and protect us as you always have Skip. You will be greatly missed and my heart and praiers are with you and your family. Thank you for all the life lessons and times of happyness we shared. God Bless
