You were highlighted on the website today so I came to
your site. Wow! What an amazing father you were. I
would have loved to have had a Daddy like you! Know
the void you left was tremendous, but if they all put their
faith in Jesus Christ, you will be together again some
day. It is a crime that your murderer only received a 5
year sentence for taking 2 lives. Outrageous! If I could
have one wish, I would remove alcohol from this earth.
It has harmed so many people's lives. I trust you have
met Jeff McCoy from Abilene, TX PD by now. He loved
the Lord and he, too will miss so many joyous experiences down here on earth. Rejoice together until
we get there. I didn't know you in this life, but I look
forward to meeting you in the next. God bless you and
your precious family.

hey dad...today i have an empty feeling inside me...yet another officer has been taken away from us... and for some reason it hit home to me. dad it has been almost 15 years since you were taken away from us and it still seems like yesterday. there are days that i just lay in bed before i drift off to sleep thinking what if you were still here.. how would things be.. and it makes me want to cry. knowing how much you have missed... with us growing up , getting married, having kids ..all of that... just amazes me how time gets away from us... i just wish i could have given you one more hug before you left that night for work. i got my ten year pin at work.. i cant believe i have been here for that long. i wish i could have shared that moment with you .. well dad i know your in good hands up there.. until next time.. i love you soo much and miss you deeply

your baby girl always and forever

Hello Jerry,
We always seemed to run into each other on the back lot of the North station and chat a moment. You were always such a pleasant, happy guy and I enjoyed seeing you. I saluted you that night when you left the scene. I saluted you when we sent you home, and in my heart I salute you today. You were a fine, honorable man. Go easy, bro.

We give our loved ones back to G-d,
And just as He first gave them to us,
And did not lose them in the giving.
So we have not lost them in returning them to Him...
For life is eternal.
Love is immortal.
Death is only a horizon,
And a horizon is nothing but the limit
of our earthly sight
