Reflections for Police Officer Richard Howard Calhoun
I remember one morning sitting in our classroom. The office staff from the Junior High came and escorted your daughter out of our classroom. We found out later that day you were killed. I was one of the boys that rode motorcycles with your son. I was there the day he ran into the fence near the Sage store, and you have to fix the motorcylce.
Even though its been 30 years I haven't forgotten you. You were a good father and kind to us neighborhood kids. You were one of the reasons I choose to get into law enforcement. All I can say is thank you.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice while attempting to protect the citizens of Houston. You are a true hero for your dedication and you and your family are in my prayers.

Having been recently told about this website, I immediately typed in RoHo's name. He was one of my first training officers on night shift, and I knew him as a man who loved his work and his family. Sadly, he left night shift to go to days, hoping that he would find a calmer shift than nights were. I know he continues to be missed.

I had the great opportunity to have been a partner in training with RoHo as he was called. I remember him today as I did then as a professional. His was a tremdous loss, not just to those who knew him, but also to the men and women of the Houston Police Dept. May he rest in peace.
