I knew Ted Donald as a fine and dedicated Police Officer who did his job every day and in every way. I was the Aide to the Chief of the HAPD when Ted was killed in the line of duty and responded along with the Chief of Department to the hospital where Ted was taken and where he expired. We met with his family and tried our best to console and comfort them. Over the course of the next few days we made sure that Ted was accorded a funeral with full honors and one befitting an officer of his quality and dedication. To this day I wish only that his family will prosper and will accept the gratitude of an appreciative police department who to this day honors the memory of Police Officer Ted Donald. May he rest in peace with our loving thanks for a job well done.....Chief J. Keeney
