I'd like to convey my condolences to the Galloway family. Obviously Joe was an outstanding public servant--having served in Viet Nam and later as a Reserve Deputy. The fact that his nephew was shot and killed years earlier says a lot about the kind of guy that Joe obviously was. I send my condolences and am so sorry that two family members had to die in the line of duty, but that's a policeman's creed. We protect and serve so others may live in peace and safety. God bless to Joe's family. I would have liked to have known him. Jim Lopey (Asst. Sheriff/recently retired)

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
