I was a young Atlanta Officer in the early 1970s. I met Officer Wingo on the day shift. To this day I remember how impeccable he looked in his uniform and his wonderful demeanor. I really looked up to him.

While I wasn't there for long I always remember the way he carried himself. He very much impressed me.

He was a real asset and very much missed.
