Having known and worked with your wife Debbie, not only would I thank you for your service, but for giving her some of the best of life that she ever had. She has your sons to continue to give her support, peace, and happiness. She will be taken care of by all of us still here as well.
To all of your co-workers at Miami Dade, may you always remember to take the best of care of each other and to strengthen one another at this time and hereafter.

Words can't express the pain bro. In just the short time I've worked with you, I can't imagine working with a more personable kind of guy. You made the day worth coming to work. I'm glad I got to see you Wednesday afternoon and walk with you. That is a 5 minute walk that I will cherish for life. I think our immediate bond had something to do with our height, but I'm ok with that and I'm blessed that you are a part of my life. I love you bro.

For Detectives Roger Castillo & Amanda Haworth:
The duty of the law officer is a hazardous one. One of the most dangerous tasks is the confrontation with a the felon who will kill as quick as look at those who would apprehend him. We regret that our brother Roger and our sister Amanda would encounter what most of us have been fortunate enough to have avoided either during our shift or our career. At the same time we laud the efforts of those assisting Roger and Amanda and who brought down a vicious killer.
We pray for both of the detectives families, friends, co-workers and all who care about them. May the be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.
As a retired state trooper and a Lake County (FL) Deputy Sheriff, I am proud to render Detective Roger Castillo and Detective Amanda Haworth a final salute.
