I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Trooper Richey, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Paul, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Paul's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Paul's life was about so much more than the way he died. Paul will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Trooper Richey, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Evil is always there with us.

It is BRAVE people like Trooper Richey that try to protect us from it.

We can never forget the sacrifices of the fight, we can never forget why they have died.

It was not for their family, NOR their Country Lord.

It was for all, Alpha and Omega, for the end.

God, I know these men are with thee as great warriors, you choose the very best of all of us.

They will be Deputies of your return, Angels of defiance, Warlords of the End Times.

Lord, Thank you for choosing such honorable men.

LORD, please give comfort to there earthly loved ones, AMEN

Rest in peace brother. I never met you but we have many connections besides both being State Troopers. Our father's attended the same masonic lodge, my aunt currently lives in Franklin and my father graduated from the high school your funeral took place. You're in a better place Trooper Richey and you will never be forgotten.

Connor says, "My Dad was very kind and helpful. He always took other calls that weren't even his. That is why he is a hero. He was my hero because he would go to my baseball games and cheer me on. I love him and miss him."

Catherine says, "My Dad was a very nice man. He would work to get the bad guy in jail. He also built us a nice house and took me to gymnastics. He was a good dad. I love him."

Regretfully, we have all attended too many law enforcement funerals. However, your tragedy has had profound emotional consequences that have humbled and changed many of us forever. Your family was blessed to have you, such a devoted husband and father. Loving memories of you will keep them grounded and whole. The Pennsylvania State Police was superbly represented as you professionally impacted thousands of citizens and visitors of the Commonwealth spanning nearly two decades. I will never forget our many financial conversations, PSP Milton comparisons and hearty laughter. Though nothing will ever compare to your presence, your family will be loved and supported by so many who have been inspired by you. May God bless and keep you and your family always.
