I remember meeting you at the Health Food Store and talking to you about working out as you wanted to add a few extra pounds you had lost from all the running you did at the academy. You had a passion for exercise and your new career with ISP you were ready to embark on. Your career may of been cut short but you will always be remembered by your brothers in blue as you represented ISP to the fullest with what it prides itself on. Thank you for your service and may you RIP as you watch over your family, friends and fellow officers...
