Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Patrolman Francis B. Johnson

Thinking of you these past few weeks and especially on St. Patrick's day. Its been a hard couple of weeks, a Trooper, a father of six, (just like you) was killed, and a young officer from Falmouth was also killed in the line of duty. Many heroes among us Dad.

Today makes 46 years since your life was needlessly taken and as is obvious by the posts here, you have never been forgotten. It's both heart breaking and reassuring to read the posts from your daughter and relatives. It is proof that, so long as your memory is kept alive, you're never truly far from the hearts and minds of those who love you. You are and for ever will be a hero to those who loved you and those who never met you.

RIP, Brother.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in Holiday style in the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you'll hear... Silver Bells, Silver Bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring a ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas Day.
