Jesse, I never met you, although I am married to your Neice, Teresa, I was just one year into my career when you lost your life in the line of duty and I recall the incident clearly. Being an Officer of the Law can often be a dangerous and sometimes thankless job that requires a tremendous amount of sacrifice and dedication. On behalf of your Community, County, State and Country, you made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty and I honor you for that. Rest In Peace.

San Gabriel Police, Retired
