May your friends and family be comforted by the fact that your sacrifice will never be forgotten. I've been to Springfield many, many times, but will never look at your city the same way. Rest in peace, sir.

To Officer Ambroses' Family:
There are no words to express the sadness of this tragedy, I sit here in tears. I didn't know him but I respect all Officers who put their lives on the line day in and day out, especially for all those years he put in serving us.
May you stick together as a family and lean on each other as everyone grieves in their own way. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.
To Officer Ambrose:
This is too sad that you had to leave in this senseless way.
May you punch a hole thru this world to let your family know that you are ok and in peace. My husband did that for me I believe, and you can do it too. Thank you for all of your years putting others before yourself.
I salute you with tears, Sir. GodSpeed...

Kevin joined the force in 1976 with my now deceased (Heart Bill) husband. He was a laid back guy and liked by all. Kevin was murdered by a NY Corrections Ofifcer. We are still in shock. Yes, Kevin is a HERO but today he was also a VICTIM.

This is another painful reminder that there is no such thing as a "routine call" that brave officers go on each & every day; understaffed & in the midst of layoffs and budget cuts.
Officer Ambrose , A true hero in every since of the word. Rest easy now brother. You were a long a hero long before this tragic day.
