To Sam and his family, my deepest sympathies go out to you. Sam watched out over as kids and was always good hearted and dependable. It is a true tragedy that someone who always had genuine intensions had to die. Your greatness will never be forgotten. You were a great friend, brother and son in your family. We love you.

Deputy Brownlee the wolf knocked at the door and you answered. You did yourself, your agency, our profession proud. Rest Easy.

May God be with your friends and family in the days and years ahead.

Sam,
Though I knew you for too short a time, I could tell your passion for the job and those you served. You were always there to help in whatever way you could. I will miss your smile and laugh on a scene. I remember the way you babied and loved your charger until that feed truck took it from you.
May you rest in peace. May God comfort your family. You will be missed.

"The Final Inspection"

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Sir, your courage shined the brightest light yesterday. I pray that your heroic act will comfort your wife on this day and many tomorrows, and that she will never feel alone. A good man was lost, but never will he be forgotten.
