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"

You were a great man and a great officer. I appreciated all the support, training, and teaching you gave me. I will never forget your laugh, and how you were always willing to help. It was such a pleasure visiting with you a couple of months ago. You strove for excellence in Law Enforcement, as well as being a great family man. I will miss you, and miss serving with you. My prayers go out to your family, close friends. When god called you to heaven, he got an angel that will look over all of us.

Thank you for your selfless service to our community. You are a great man and a great law enforcement officer. You were committed to whatever you chose to get involved in, Patrol, SWAT, FOP to name a few. You will be greatly missed. You were a great dedicated warrior in protecting your community and I thank you for that. No one knows the courage it takes to do the job you did unless they've been there. You will always be remembered. My prayers go out to you and your family.
