Looking back at this after four years since my last post. I know that my father had a huge impact on not only family but local law enforcement communities. Dad you have followed me from country to country protecting and watching over me you are truly missed by all. I hope that all of us kids have made you so proud. As I strive to be like you every day the sounds of your voice and smell of cologne is still ringing through my life. I now have three wonderful children that you will not meet until the day we rest. This is what was taken from my life.
