I had the pleasure of meeting on of your sons. He was at our local police officer memorial. I heard your story and I must say you should be so proud of that boy. Although he was only 4 months old when you passed away, he talked so highly of you. Many years have passed but you are still remembered for the ultimate sacrafice you made that December day.

When I 1st met you when we worked a security detail together at a local nightclub in the mid 80's, I always found you to be the utmost professional and respectful Officer. My dealings with you in Zone 3 even more so enforced my beliefs as to your professionalism and true ability to be an excellent patrol officer(knowing the people of your beat and being in contact with the needs of your beat. This is a trait that too few Officers possess. Your were certainly one of the best of the best. It was ashame that you were taken from us for as far as police officers go, you made a difference. May you rest in peace in a better place.. Charles R. Shaw III, Investigator

At the Washington Memorial I saw your name in stone. On the wall with other heroes you were not alone. We were brothers in the corps and brothers on the job so rest in peace my brother we all still feel your loss.

Dear Boss, You were tough on me like you were tough on your Army Ranger recruits. I remember you as the big mean looking Swede with the soft heart, loving family and respect of anyone who met you. All your friends, co-workers and colleages were there for you, as you were for them. I will never forget the limited time God allowed you to serve the people of Atlanta before he called you home because he needed your help up there. I think of you and your family often, even these many years after you left us. I am a stronger person knowing you look over my shoulder every day. Thank you for paying the ultimate sacrifice for me--no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for another. (Niles co-owned the company I worked for, prior to becoming an Atlanta Police Officer)

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

God bless you. I hope the coward that killed you feels the full wrath of the good Lord when his time has come. You will never be forgotten, hero.
