Officer Down Memorial Page

I have heard on the news your family saying that you died doing what you loved. It's amazing that heroes like you die every day giving up your life so that others may have it. It's never easy to let go of the ones we love, but I thank you for your sacrifice. Until you are in these shoes, you can never truly comprehend the loss and the heartache. I pray that your family, friends, and coworkers have many beautiful memories to carry them through.

I worked with Mike at USF&G insurance company until it was desolved. He was a great guy and a the most thorough investigator and one of most popular men I have everknow. He was respected by his peeers and loved by his family.
