Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

Hey Paul,

I have fond memories of our academy class (90-1F) and you helped make that possible. Your loss is a terrible tragedy. I hope to be at the memorial in May to hear your name read and to pay my respects.

I don't know you but you must be a cousin because we have the same last name and no one has this name other than my relatives.
But as an officer of the law I know you have fought a good fight. May you rest in peace my cousin. Wish I could have known you personally. To his wife and children I say God is the way. He will heal you in due time. Lay all your troubles and sorry on him for there is no other to lean on. I may not know you but I feel your pain. I will pray for you and the family.
