Officer Down Memorial Page

Steve, not a day goes by when you don't cross my mind. The afternoon when you came to me over an issue with your pepper-spray, the night you called because you were driving a police car without a hub-cap, or the fact that bad guys all over South Providence called you pac-man for your dogged pursuit of them and their activities are all good memories. I remember how happy you were to be buying your first house with Maria and going over the pucrchase and sale agreement with you after roll-call. My last two memories are you coming through the line at my Dad's wake and that horrible call I got the following night telling me to get to the hospital because you were shot...It was one of the only bad days I ever had as a police officer. You gave it all my friend. Rest in Peace
