Jim,
I was there the night you died. I remember answering my page and when I arrived being told you were killed. You would be so proud of your team, they negotiated with Mr. Finch for the entire cold night, then arrested him without harming a hair on his head. They put their feels for you aside and did their jobs well. Rest in peace Tug.
