Officer Down Memorial Page

I just saw a motorcade go by in front of my house this afternoon, John. It was for a murdered Norfolk Police Officer. He was a bicycle patrolman, and his family resides here in Virginia Beach. As all the Motorcops cruised through the quiet street; it sounded like a jet was slowly flying over... And then of course my mind went immediately to you. I never see a Norfolk Police uniform without thinking of you.

I still remember riding to Granby High together in your beautiful 62 Impala. You were a grade ahead of me, but always had room in that car for me, because I was a neighborhood pal.

Your mom is still doing OK, I spoke to her a month ago. She has lost so much! First your dad, then you.

I'll never forget you, buddy... and the shock when I head you were gone. So young in the prime of life. You gave it for all of us.

I'll see you again.
