4 years. . . . And a few changes. I know you didn't want me to change my last name so I just moved it over :), like grandma. I miss you terribly. I wish so bad you could be here to see me. Don't want to toot my own horn but you would be proud. You now have an amazing son in law, he walks around the house and whistles just like you! Not to mention he loves working out like you too. . . and of course he loves me with all his heart like you :). I see so much of you in him . . . that's how I know I got a good one. I can only hope that you have left your mark on enough men here that they learn the importance of being a great father to their daughters. Through all of your efforts you have provided me with an emotional gift that will last a life time.

To the others that have left comments, thank you. Each message makes the pain that much easier to deal with.

I still miss you so much. I miss your humor and your guidance. I can still hear your voice in my head from all of great talks we had while working in Echo. I so thoroughly enjoyed the years that I worked for you and I learned so much from you. You were a wonderful supervisor, a great mentor and a beloved friend. I often drive down Kings Av while on patrol and say a quiet 'hi' under my breath as I pass that tree. I think about you often and know that you are watching over us and I try to make you proud. You will always be remembered.

In 2007 I sat amongst a crowd at a youth function where you were being honored for your dedication to the youth in my community. As a child, I heard different names of the men and women who worked to convict my fathers killer but never had I put two and two together. After leaving the function the name Ron Harrison kept popping up as if there was something I had missed. So, I did a Google search. I know why your name had so much meaning.

In 1983, Sherriff Walter Heinrich and Assistant State Attorney Mark Ober wrote you a letter complimenting your work in my father's homicide investigation.

I was only 9 years old at the time you received this letter, but please know if I could have scribbled my name on that letter in appreciation for your work I would have. Thank you!

Sgt.,

On this 3 year anniversary of your passing, we all mourn for the loss of such a good family member, friend, and mentor. You are never far from out thoughts. You would be so proud of your family! We have kept close with them, especially Ronnie. May you rest in peace until the Resurrection, and we will see you again.

P.S. thanks for the Cayenne Pepper recipe that you gave Lisa for her lasagna, one of the last times we spoke. She uses it every time she makes lasagna, in memory of you. And, it tastes as good as you said it would.

With Love,
Brian and Lisa Noland

Sgt Harrison,

Over the past couple of days I have watched so much coverage on the TPD shootings and I realized that I haven't been on this page recently, and for that I am sorry. I hear the news coverage and I think of you and your family. I just wanted to let you know that I have taken a lot of your advice and placed it into my day to day job. I miss seeing you around the district giving me that look that I had so come use to getting.

Rest in peace Sgt., you have not been forgotten for your service and sacrifice.

As I sit here tonight thinking of the families of the 2 TPD Officers killed today, I think of you. I can't believe it has been almost 3 years. I think of the conversations we had, not about the job, but family and children. It never failed every time I would see you, you would ask how the kids were. Thanks for being a friend, and you will never be forgotten. God Bless

Sergeant, it feels like just yesterday you were taken from us. I still remember the 1st time I met you. We were working together on a Checkpoint along 56th St. in TT. It was my first one and I was very nervous. You took me under your wing to guide me through the process and show me the ropes. you showed me some excellent tactics and gave me great advice. What you taught me then, I still use and remember to this day. Rest in peace, and I know we'll meet again.

Well Ron,

We just finished the Candlelight vigil at the National Law Enforcement Memorial and I think that your family and those of the 180 other officers memorialized can finally have peace. You were loved and respected.

Dearest Seargeant Harrison,

I was in Tampa on business the day after you were taken from us. After watching all the news reports, I felt like I knew you. I remember watching the news on the morning of your funeral. They reported how traffic in southwest florida would be crazy, due to the freeway closures for your funeral procession. You must have been one amazing man!! As a father, I thank you for your efforts to eradicate drunk driving. It will be my privilege to shake your hand in heaven one day. Rest easy......

A simple thank you is all I have to offer. A heavy heart for those loved ones and friends whom remain. A confidence knowing the Lord has a special place reserved at His table for men who give all such as you. Men who ask nothing in return. In Memory of all whom serve us selflessly, Thank You (You'll never hear that enough)--

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Sergeant Harrison. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Ron, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Ron's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Ron's life was about so much more than the way he died. Ron will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Sergeant Harrison, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)
