On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Corrections Officer Joseph Parise and the extended law enforcement family of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Minnesota.

End of Watch Monday, September 24, 2018.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

AVENUE OF THE FALLEN…

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms,
badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement.
All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home…

This inspiring poem was written by Jim Weaver, a retired LAPD Officer and former Idaho Sheriff. It is submitted with his full support and approval. We feel ceremonies such as this actually occur in the Heavenly Realm. We can all gain a glimpse at… ImagineHeaven.net …with the faith building book by Pastor John Burke, and his NDE interviews with credible individuals granted such Near Death Experiences. Both my Pastor and Family Doctors feel many such instances are fully valid. Indeed, “Do nor fear…for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32). May the Family, Friends and Department be comforted as Magnificent Reunions truly await all Christians!

My reflection? Where should I start, you’ve always been my #1 since day #1. You were not only my cousin but a brother. When you told me you joined the brotherhood, I couldn’t have been more proud for you to become a pet of us. To serve our communities and become one who is called upon for help or assistance. As I sit here, tears in my eyes and hurt, I’m glad and proud to call you my blood and cousin. Your name and commitment to family and friends and people you don’t even know won’t be forgotten or unnoticed. We love you! Take care of your mom (aunt DD, grandma, and the rest of our family in heaven). I love you for ever and will miss you even more! I will see you seen. Rest easy and peacefully! Your family will be watched over by millions of brothers and sisters!

A Minnesota State Corrections Officer has left us just too soon while he was at work. He helped to get two fellow officers from being assaulted by an inmate at the prison. He felt sick and went to the hospital where he died when he arrived at the hospital.
