Thank you for your courage and ultimate sacrifice. You will FOREVER be a hero and will NEVER be forgotten!

Patrolman Cadorette, today marks the 41st anniversary of your murder at the hands of a lousy car thief. The memorial page doesn't say if the driver of the first car was caught, we can only hope he or she was.

You took a bold risk that may have saved your partner's life that night. You and he are both heroes in the purest sense. Where ever he is now, I pray he's gotten over that awful night. My heart also goes out to your family. All four of your kids are grown now but even after all this time, I'm sure they still feel your presence and I'm sure you never really left them.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroic attempt to save your partner's life (especially at a time before the use of body armor was the norm) shows how much courage and character you had. You are an inspiration to us all.
