I remember that day so vividly, I talked to you 30 minutes before the incident happened. That was 26 years ago, I have not nor ever will forget you. You were the one who recruited me and had a hand in my hiring at CPD. You gave me the greatest advice to which I pass on to the young officers. Thank you and I miss you!
