Highway Unit 3 - Det Tsakos will never be forgotten. My deepest condolences to Ms. Tsakos, to your beautiful daughter and beautiful son, may God provide both his peace and love in your life. Know now and know always that Anastasios is now in Heaven resting in peace.

Highway Unit 3 will always have a place in my heart. About 35+ years ago my close cousin Kenton Britt was also killed (by an off-duty Correction Officer) at the scene of an accident he was investigating when he was structed and killed. RIP Anastasios and Kenton.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

To the Tsakos family, fellow officers, and all who call Anastasio beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support. I hope that you continue to receive that same kind of support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.
