Ron,

Although we were not close in age, nor did we hang out much, I always felt that you were one of the finest individuals that I have had the pleasure of knowing. You were a great, natural leader who I learned a lot from. You will be sorely missed by many, many people whose lives you touched. I wish I had half of your positive attitude and outlook.

I never told you this, which I now regret, but when you went on that journey to ground zero and pedaled all those miles, I couldn't help but feel that you were one of those people, who make me proud to be human.

"Class 123, Pride and Unity, Hooah!"

Goodbye my friend and godspeed,

To: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER: O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me .As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls for assistance with haste realizing that so many are dependent on me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think that no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE***Sent to you by the father of Master Officer J.D.Koeppen, Capital City Raleigh North Carolina; Trooper D.C.Koeppen, New Jersey State Police and Cadet Officer A.M.Koeppen,Wilmington North Carolina.
