My Dear Brother Eddie,

Even though it has been 57 years since you have been gone, I think about you every day.

We were so close. I remember right before you passed away. You came to see me with the boys & they meant everything to you. I wish things could have turned out differently & you would have still been here.

I love you & you will always be in my heart,

Your loving sister,

Jean

Dear Patrolman Side Partner to Eddie,

Thank you for the very thoughtful reflection. Your partner was my Uncle -- Uncle Eddie. I was only a month old when he died so I never had the opportunity to meet him. But, I did get to know Aunt Helen and the boys. I lost contact with the family for years until several weeks ago. I'm very, very happy to have reconnected with them, and I'm very happy that he had such a devoted partner in you. Thank you again for taking the time to remember.

Eddie was my side partner. Unfortunately I was off duty the night he was killed. He was a great guy, (WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR), who never went out of his way to hurt anyone, or spoke badly about anyone. I think it is important to say that most cops in those, myself included, were a bunch of hound dogs. However, Eddie was a devoted husband, father, and never fooled around on the job, or otherwise. Obviously, my biggest regret was that on the night he was killed, I was off duty, otherwise would very likely have been with him and may have had the blessing of preventing what happened. His wife, Helen, is the sweetest person you would ever want to meet. I SAY THIS WITH ALL HONESTY AND SADNESS, THERE IS NOT ONE DAY THAT HAS GONE BY, NOT ONE DAY THAT WILL EVER GO BY, THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT EDDIE. LIKEWISE, NOT ONE NIGHT GOES BY THAT I DON'T SAY A PRAYER FOR HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, WHO STILL BEAR THE BURDEN OF THINKING ABOUT HIM EVERYDAY. YOU WERE A GOOD MAN, EDDIE KOWALESKI.

I met your son a few years back. He told me about losing you when he was just a kid. He was a nice man;still sad, and I'm sure you would be proud of him. I went back a few days later and gave him a copy of you departmental obituary- he wished they could have posted a better picture. Thank you for doing your job. You are a hero.
