Hi Dad,
I am so astounded to find these reflections left for you. I searched for your name on a whim, although I think of you every single day. I never met you because I was born 2 months after you died, but your photographs fill my home and your love fills my heart. You predicted the night before your accident that I was a girl and you were right. I'm sure you know by now that Mommy died 2 days ago. I pray that she is with you, looking down at Roy and I, and knowing we love you both more than words can say. You will forever live in our hearts. Please take care of her now, as you did when you were here.

I was a boy of 12 years old when I heard of Officer Dunn being killed while on patrol. I remember that there was construction going on at State St. and Water St. They were building the munciciple garage which would also house the bus terminal. Officer Dunn was thrown from his machine when he encountered potholes, stones and dirt on the surface of the road.
Cfficer Dunn was a caring person who always had a smile and words of encouragement when needed most.
Thank you for the service to all of the City of Bridgeport during your short life. Tomorrow (Aug. 13, 2009) marks the 59th year of your death and still you have not been forgotten.

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
