Coming up on 20 years Tim, where has the time gone? You have 3 gorgeous grandsons & a grand daughter with beauty & personality plus. She looks exactly like Breeze. Liam looks at your picture everyday & calls you Sarge. When he gets older, he will know exactly who you were & will be so proud of you. Today, I spoke to a good man, he is deputy chief in our town, & he reminded me that it is all in God's hands and that really helped. Things take time, hearts begin to soften & love is always there. I promise you that Bill & I will take care of our babies, (by "our" I mean mine, yours & Bill's). Keep a watchful on the all of us down here, we all need your help. Thanks for the love, the laughs and especially for the girls....they are the loves of my life...again, thank you. Love & good memories xoxo

Timmy some of the best times I ever had as a cop was when we were partners . You always kept me laughing with your sense of humor and safe with your ability to do the job. Whether it was police work or building a beautiful car from a pile of junk your knowledge amazed me. I took your death hard , but I know your still on the job.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Timmy's wife and daughters, you probably will not remember me, I am the daughter of Al Ackerman, who was a Passaic County Police Officer. My name is Michelle. We lived a few doors down from you in the late 80's and early 90's. I hope all is well with you and your family. Your husband/father will never be forgotten and is sadly missed. Take care.

As an instructor, I am deeply saddened by accidents that occur during training. These are accidents that took the life of a loved one, friend, co-worker. But God has a purpose for these fine HERO'S. May they sit upon thrones of gold and serve him, for no harm will come unto them now. RIP BROTHERS/SISTERS.
