Ernest,
I was one of the first to arrive on the scene and stood by you until medic took you away in front of the store that night. One of my many memories I'll take with me when it is my time and I'm in hopes to see you again, you are a fine person. You are one of the very reasons I got into training to help other officers. Peace eternal brother,
Ken
