You were young and vibrant in those long ago days. You and three of your buddies bought a small airplane; then you got your pilot license. You had an aqua colored motor boat that you named after your daughter, Linda Kay. And oh, as a small boy I was so impressed with your blue 1964 Impala Super Sport that sat regally in your driveway. Scenes of the sun reflecting off those dual chrome tail pipes; The bucket seats and four on the floor are still embedded in my mind. You daily cleaned that car and everything you had was always so neat.

Then came that awful hot summer day. I remember the field where your corpse was discovered. There were police cars and road blocks everywhere. Disbelief quickly surrendered to shock. We expected grandparents to die but not Uncle Billy.

Your dear wife, my aunt grew old and died alone in the home you both shared. Your siblings, brothers and sister-in-laws are now bowed to the affects of time. Your little daughter, now has passed that arbitrary date fixed by Social Security, as the time for old people to retire. However, Uncle Billy, you will be forever that young, dark haired, quick moving, fun loving man.

I’ll always remember you and hope to see you again.

I became a Patrolman in November 1983, retired January 2007. I always remembered the sacrifice of those who came before me. We had the same issues throughout my career with the court system. Those of us who served did it for another reason, I always told cadets when I taught at the training center it is really a calling not a job. I grieve with the family of the loss of a loved one, and pray God has blessed you in ways only he can....

My brother in arms, no justice for you. Your state the one you died for could not render you the justice you so deserved for giving your life in the name of public safety. Thank you for your dedication to your state and the public you served.

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” You served us well......RIP brother. It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in your memory. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever.
