Officer Down Memorial Page

Jim,

I can't believe it's been 6 months today. I still remember everything like it was yesterday. My dad misses you like crazy, he misses his partner, his buddy, his friend. He tries to put on the tough guy front but I know he's hurting and misses you. Thinking back to the last time I saw you, I'm thankful I got to talk to you for as long as I did, and get to remember our racing days, and then tell you about all the plans and dreams I had for myself. I'd give anything to go back to the last day I saw you and give you one more hug and say a real goodbye. Working with you that day is a day I'll never forget bcause its the last memory I have with you.

I wish you could be here and see how amazing and strong your beautiful daughters are and how strong and loving your wife has been...they are an inspiration to all because I could not imagine being half as strong as they have been if I was in their shoes...but I know you're watching from above and you see everything.

It's so hard to explain in words to people what it's like to lose you, I think it makes me so sad because I know how much you meant to my dad.

I never got to tell you this, but I am so thankful you invited me and my dad to the racetrack that one day to watch Jamie race...beacuse thats what got me started racing and those were the best years of my life.

I love you and miss you and you will never be forgotten
