Losing a member of the Hokie community is a pain that goes deeper than words can express. You were not only the true American hero, but the true Hokie Hero. You were the perfect example of who every Hokie should try to be. While the community is mourning a great loss, we were lucky to have had such an amazing man protecting each and everyone of us. I speak for the entire community when I say, "We love you, and We miss you!" please continue guarding us from Heaven! When I get there one day, you are the one person I truly want to meet! Thank you!
