View all 28 Reflections38 years ago I lost my best friend. It wasn't till the next morning till I recieved the call. I saw the end of lot of dreams and the heart break of your family and Michelle , your newly wed. It took me a decade to come to terms with your passing. Mike Swain and I remember you fondly and still find it hard to speak of you. I often talk to young people and try to teach them
the lessons we learned . I have two nephews that are involved with the State Police one recently graduated and the other still has to go through academy. I warn them of the dangers and hurt for us left behind. I pray for the well being and the day they can retire. You would be proud of your brother Chris , he has done well.
You are always remembered and missed.
Till we meet àgain
