On this the 79th anniversary of your death, your sacrifice and service are remembered.
Rest in peace as you patrol with St. Michael and all fallen
heroes in heaven.
It is unfortunate that your murderer never received the punishment that would of been justice for you and your family.
We can be assured that he faced the ultimate judgement our
maker reserves for murderers.
