Officer Down Memorial Page

I was so proud when I submitted your name to be added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial wall. I have visited it many times and always leave a momento to let you know you will always be remembered. Gone too soon.

As A young police officer I was proud to see my Great Grandfather's name engraved at the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington shortly after it was completed.

I never got to meet him because he was gone when my father was only five years old. My dad never forgot his father's death or funeral. He talked about his father all of his life until he died and because of this I believe he grieved all his life for his father. I wish I had known my grandfather. What a brave man.

John, although no suspects were ever identified, the good Lord knows who did this terrible deed and the payback will be everlasting.

May you and your family always be blessed.
