This is his daughter, I want to thank everyone who has left kind words. I wish for you to know the kind man that raised me. He was honorable at work and just as honorable and even more compassionate at home. He was always patient and loving with me and encouraged me to do my best in everything I do. He cared deeply about his officers and wished the best for them. He is sorely missed but his love and memory carries on through those he helped. Stay Strong and True. Love to my LEOs
