Sam,

I remember working the circle area and knew I could always count on you with backup. You were always willing to give a helping hand no matter the color of the uniform. Your smile was so infectious it would change anyone mood. I will always cherish the times we spent at Perkins for breakfast or in between calls. We had a lot of fun always ripping on one another. Good times! I know you will be driving the nicest Audi in heaven. Rest in peace brother!

All respect to these fallen officers, their agencies and families. I hope to one day never read another story about an officer killed in the line of duty, but I fear that day may never come.

Godspeed to you and your partner.
