Major Smith,
You passed away on the day my wife and I were married. We are still married and I retired from PD Joliet IL on 4-22-09 after 37+ years of service. Thank you for watching out for us continuing to serve after your death. It is my prayer that you continue to rest in peace and watch out for those who became officers and continue to serve including my son (2005-still serving).Thank you for your service and my thoughts and prayers of condelence go out to your family, co-workers and community.
