Many years have gone by, actually over 17 to be exact, and there doesn't go a day by when your brother Bernie doesn't think about you....I thank you for the two beautiful children, Sierra and Brandon...that I know you guided to us with your mom's help. Your niece, is a female version of you...she looks and acts like you and your nephew is just like your brother, he is an amazing Hockey player, boy would you bust his stones, but in a good way....As far as your niece is concerned she is smart and witty just like you, you would be in love with her....We all miss you, please guide us and protect and let us be happy....May God Bless YOU!!!!!!

Another Thanksgiving, you should of been here w/ my mom and/or we should have been w/ your mom. But you are with both. I miss you still. I miss our time together, holidays and everyday, even though I am w/ someone I think you guided me to, from meeting at the FOP89. I'm happy but I still miss YOU. You taught me love, life, respect and the worship of
faith. I have that faith, that one day I will see you & it is at a place where we are angels protecting those before us, such your fellow Brethren. You, Steve, Tony we miss you. I miss you John. Bernie misses you. Your friends miss you. God may you be in peace...Thank God for HEROES, Inc. and God Bless PGPD and all Police, Firefighters, EMS...Soldiers!!

Nova, it's been 17 years..a night I will never forget. Thank you for being the best, craziest FTO a rookie could have! The fun and crazy times are too many to list. I brought my daughter to visit you last week, and told her of your heroism, and of the coward who stole you from Karen and the rest of us. Rest in peace as those of us still on this side of eternity continue to miss you.

I was in the police academy (Session 84) the night you were killed. CPL. Berry Beam called the class in the early morning hours. I never will forget him saying, I need you to come in. A policeman has been killed...We conducted three crime scene searches. I have been told that you were one hell of a good policeman. I wish I had got to know you. Take comfort in knowning that the dirt bag that cowardly ambushed you, killed himself with your pistol...

John,

I hope Grandma is with you, Poppy, and Mommy now. The last couple of times I have seen Grandma, all she talked about was you and why did you die. I guess it was her way of telling us she would be seeing you soon.

Lots of memories the last few days at Grandma's Funeral.

Will see you on your Memorial Honor Day.

Miss you my brother.

It's that time of the year again. Spring. Everything should be of birth, new life. I see the birds, especially the crows, because they constantly "Caw". And they are here by me, telling me "it's ok, I'm here, I'm watching over you." Or, the phone rings and noone is there, but I feel its you. I miss you. I wish I could hear your "Caw" and you callling me on the phone but the asshole who killed you took that and our future away. I start over with another angel I think you sent my way but you my love will never be replaced. I miss you. K.

Missing you always my brother, my friend, and my hero. The kids are getting bigger now and I tell them about how brave you were in your job.

Brandon is learning to play Ice Hockey. He is in a clinic for 6 weeks and he will be doing another 6 weeks. It is so funny when we received his practice jersey. It was #33. It immediately brought back memories of you when we were growing up as you wore #33.


Missing you. God Bless You.

John,

Missing you during this Holiday Season. I look back at all of the Christmas and New Years we had together as kids growing up. I sure do remember all of the games we played together. You were always a great teacher to me then and even now.

You are missed so much.

John,

It was great to visit you again. The rain was falling and the wind was blowing, but we made it to see you. A christmas wreath with cards to remember and honor you. You are not forgotten at all, especially during the Holidays where Families should be together. You protected so many Families on Holidays.

The world we live in is cold, greedy, and selfish more ever it has been. I pray for You and Mommy and think about both of you every day.

I often wonder what could have been with both of you living.

Miss you and love you.

John,

Thinking about you today alot. Thinking about us playing hockey; you wearing the Hawks Jersey and me wearing the Red Wings Jersey hoarsing around.

Memories is all I have and they help me alot, but there will always be an empty feeling and void.

We all miss you so very, very much. Will be visiting soon at your place of rest to honor you and thank you.

Miss you my friend and brother.

John,

There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss you. I miss you so much. You were serious when you had to be, but the comical stough you did makes me laugh out loud at times.

You would be proud of your Niece and Nephew!

Look upon us and protect us John.

You and all of the other PG county police officers will never be forgotten.

Well, it's been 15 yrs. of heartache. But.. I remember well, the laughter you brought to me, the lessons you taught me, and how reality can really be unfair. I miss the hockey games, yay Caps!, Boo Flyers. Oh the Red Wings and the bets you had with Bernie! You taught me what the Republican Party was, or should be and now I'm taking voting more serious even though I was "liberal". I wish I could talk to you now, because like my mum, who loved you, you are in heaven or amongst us earthly beings in spirit as ghosts, watching over us, & trying to make us remember what was good and what is bad, and how we shouldn't make your memory sad. I miss you, I love you forever. Thank you for everything you've contributed to my life. I pray to see you again one day.. to ask me.. What the * were you thinking?

I miss you, your laughter, you making me laugh, and all missing what could have been. I hope you are watching over me, Bernie, your beautiful niece & nephews, 1 is now a cop due to you, Jason who wants to become a PG Police. I hope you are watching over us. I miss you. Every year, every day.
