Thinking of you and 51 years ago as we enjoyed our last weekend together. You were an awesome Dad. Thank you for all you did for us. Makes me proud that you loved being a police officer so much. Love you, Daddy.

Thinking of you Daddy, as I often do. Your grandson has the same passion in his blood to serve and be a police officer that you did. You would be proud. Your granddaughter is just gorgeous, inside and out. And your other two granddaughters are amazing, as well. Love you much.

I recently had the pleasure of instructing your grandson in a Junior Police Academy Camp. Though you will never read this, I hope you can rest assured that both your daughter and your grandson are incredibly proud of your dedication to law enforcement and the role that we serve for our community. I am sure that one day, he too will serve the community with the same amount of passion as you.
