Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You made the ultimate sacrifice doing your job. A job, most people are not capable of. May your loved ones' pain fade and be replaced by their fond memories of you. Rest in peace.

As I walked the hallway in the old Sheriff's Office, I would always look at Paul's Picture on the wall. After more than 10 years, I still tear up. You were way too young, CP. The old sheriff's office is gone and a new one has been built. But no matter where the building is, your memory and bravery will forever be remembered. My prayers still goes to your kids and wife. God Bless You and Thank You CP, for being the fine person you were.

I remember being in the academy at JCCC on the firing range when the call came over the radio that there had been an officer involved shooting. There was no words to describe the hole that we all felt standing there on the line. Some of us cried, some of us got angry and left; hoping we could assist in finding the one responsible. I never knew Paul, but I knew those that did. My heartfelt prayers still go out to those left behind and to those in my home state that still walk that thin blue line. Be blessed and be safe.

Just over 11 years ago I meet a young deputy from Johnston County who was full of life and knew how he wanted to spend his life on the job. WE were in DARE training together and Paul knew that DARE was not for him. When I heard what had happened to Paul I knew what a great loss that this world was going to have. Paul was a dedicated father and husband and one of the best at his job and his loss is still felt by all, ten years after his untimely death. May the good Lord continue to watch over your family and your ageny. Keep up the good work in heaven where you continue to hold the thin blue line for us all and watch our backs.

This Sunday will be ten years. I am not sure who left the previous posting but from the bottom of the family's heart we personally thank you for remembering the man whom I proudly call my brother.
To everyone out there please take the time to remember the person he was and not what happened. Don't let the anger and sadness get the best of you, Paul wouldn't want that.
To all officers out there keep your hand on your hip and know there are angels flying with you.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
