I met your family today at the Police Equestrian Competition. I spent quite some time with everyone. It was an honor meeting your mother, wife and daughter. Your mother and I had a wonderful time talking about the horses and how much she loves the officer's. Thank you for your service and may the Lord keep you in his loving arms.

Bill, I remember the time when I first came on the Police Dept. and I was given a foot beat on Germantown Ave. It was a cold February morning and pulled me aside and told me where I could get a warm cup of soup and introduced me to the merchants. I used to enjoy giving your horse a treat or two, he was a good partner.
It was a tragedy the manner in which you died and I often would visit the stables with my niece and give all the horses apples and carrots and I would teach her about the special assignment it was to be a member of the mounted patrol. You were an asset to the unit and department and are missed and thought of often.

I attended your plaque dedication a couple weeks ago. The memories of your last night will always lay heavy in my heart. But seeing your wonderful family that day gives me peace that you have left a great legacy behind.

Rest in Peace Bill

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
