Hot Rod, I can't think of anytime during the 20 years I served in Detroit when our paths crossed when there wasn't laughter and always a good time. More importantly the service You provided to the citizens of Detroit was priceless. I saw firsthand during my tour in Detroit your willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. I knew You as " one hell of a cop" and also a super cool individual. Rest in Peace.

Hot Rod.....
I am humbled and proud to have known you and I am a better motor officer and person for riding with you.
May God welcome you with open arms.
Until we ride above...
THE MOTORCYCLE OFFICER
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them
and young ones ask their parents, why the officers have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like officers of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes; you know that you are safe.
For motor officers are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again
