My old Buddy, Dear Friend and Classmate from George T. Baker Aviation School. Even now in my 60's, I can still hear your laughter and see that smile that never left your face. God Loves you in His Kingdom ( I bet you make him laugh) In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

It’s been 34 years that you are not with us but your soul has been with all the family and I am very proud to be your sister-in-law. I remember the first day that you came with the mortacycle and you said I am a mortacycle hero now and we were laughing. Thank you for the loving care that you gave to my sister and sons and to be part of our family. You’ve been a hero to the community and will always be in my heart.

Joe,
I remember when you were in patrol with me, you could'nt wait to get that motorman position, and you finally did.
I remember that day, like it was yesterday. You had just finished eating with us(Luis Diazlay, I, and others in 60 sector),at
La Carreta S.W. 8 & 36,then you rode off ( ref dept orders: "to many marked units at a restaurant")Then the call went out,that you had gone down.
I will never forget you brother,
R.I.P. and God Bless you,

Jose. I remember vividly the day you talked to me about how much you wanted to become a Motorman. I was sitting on my motor and I told you to submit you application for there would be openings in the not too distant future. I further told you that I would like to see you come to motors and that I would recommend you to the Lt. I also kidded with you and said "So you want to go through "Top Gun Training". Your answer was I want to be a Motorman like you. My friend I will always remember you.
Rest in Peace "Motorman"

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
