Officer Down Memorial Page

I remember this night even today when you gave your all for us. I was skating with your daughter that night, many, many, tears were shed by family and friends. I will never forget and I thank you for your service. A man gone to soon but never forgotten.

Thank you for paying the ultimate price. You are NOT forgotten, 53 years after your untimely death. I just hope that the person that took you from this earth had to face the long arm of the law.

Sheriff, I was only 7 years old and living in your county when you made the ultimate sacrifice for the citizens of America. Years later, I became a police officer in your county. Some of the "old timer" officers were still around and spoke very highly of your dedication, bravery and honesty. Although 52 years have passed, you are still remembered and always will be. Rest in peace.
