Reflections for Master Public Safety Officer Edward Scott Richardson
I would like to offer heart fealt condolences and prayers to the family and Aiken DPS. As the son of a Maine Game Warden who died in the Line of Duty on 3/24/2011 I know first hand how difficult a tragedy like this is to deal with. I hope and pray that his wife and sons will find comfort from the Lord, friends and family. I hope they always remember that Officer Richardson IS a HERO and he will always be remembered as a HERO for his service and ultimate sacrifice, no one will ever be able to take that away from them.
I thank you for your service and your sacrifice, rest in peace brother, we have the watch from here.

My deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and co-workers of Officer Richard, (or I might be going out on a limb here,) but I am pretty sure he was just known as “Scotty”.
I realize that words cannot heal the wounds you all feel, but time and trust in God will.
His death was not in vain, and we are grateful for his service.
Rest in peace my brother; we have the watch now. You have served us honorably.

My deepest condolences to the family, members of the department, and those served, at the loss of this officer. May faith, family, friends and time join together to ease everyone’s pain at this time of loss.
While many other career choices were certainly available, this officer chose to protect his fellow man, and for this we give everlasting thanks. As the Good Lord said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”
Thank you for your service, your convictions and moral character, as well as your devotion to duty. May you now rest in peace, knowing your fellow brothers and sisters will continue the Watch!
