Scott,

OCPD to MPDC to the FD....... so much in common, I will always miss you and will never forget you. I can still recall hearing of your shooting in rollcall at 4D. I walked out of rollcall and rode my MPD Motorcycle to the hospital to see you. I will never forget that silent moment I shared with you at your Hospital bed.

You should be so proud of all the friends that showed there respects to you on the day of your funeral. I remember riding in it Eastbound on Route 50 and could not see the end or the begining. The Firefighters blocking each entryway to Route 50 with there Engines and standing at attention...... Rest in Peace my Brother

Scot was a funny, opinionated man. I met him during the summer of 1990. We butted heads a lot, but her was there for me when I needed a friend.

Will never forget you Scott.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Lewis, we have the watch...



”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!!

I had been in the A.A. County police academy in Davidsonville for less than a week and recall standing at attention and saluting with the rest of my class, as you and your family drove by. You are not forgotten. I take that incident with me as I go to work every day. God bless you for your sacrifice.

Scotty you are missed and thought of frequently, especially when I go to play golf like we used to do so many times. When days come around that find me wanting to take a day off or not wanting to give my all, I think of how you performed on the street and that picks me up, Thanks, Academy brother, MPD class 93-1.

God holds a special place for those who give their lives in the service of others. You are there, and your partner, who did his/her job by encountering and dealing with your killer has earned that place as well. May your partner enjoy peace of mind in this world and beyond, for they have proven themselves worthy. God Bless and keep you both.
