Senior Corporal Richard A. Lawrence

I had the honor of working with Richard for years at the Dallas Arms Collectors show at Market Hall.

I was just an 18-19 year old security guard at the time.

I looked up to him. He gave advise. I listened. He treated me with respect and encouragement.

I occasionally ran across him.

I spent 32 years at GPPD after that.

And, I will always remember the day we all shrouded our badges.

Thanks Richard for the time you gave to me.

Sergeant A. Bielawski 127 (retired)
