One year......................forever friends. Detective Trooper Todd D. Baxter Deputy Ward, Kelly Gunsell DEREK I HAD THE HONOR TO MEET YOUR BROTHER AND HIS WIFE AT THE CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL AT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL ON MAY 13,2005. I SAW A ALLEGANY COUNTY SHERIFF UNIFORM AND GROWING UP IN THIS COUNTY (ALFRED,NY) I APPROACHED THIS DEPUTY AND INTRODUCED MYSELF. AFTER SPEAKING WITH YOUR BROTHER I COULD SEE YOU IN HIS EYES. I WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR YOUR BROTHER TO KEEP HIM STRONG. HE UNDERSTANDS THE THIN BLUE LINE WE WALK EVERYDAY AND THAT HE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR BROTHERHOOD. I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR BROTHER WHEN I TRAVEL BACK TO NEW YORK AND BE THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE COMES TO HONOR YOURSELF AND THE BROTHERS DURING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK. DEREK YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY MIND AND HEART AND DOING THIS WILL KEEP ME STRONG. GODSPEED AND BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Adam Klodzinski I am with you today,though not of this world,as you gather to honor my name.My spirit lives on in my love for you,an undying,eternal flame.A police officers mission is a glorious quest,defender of justice and laws.Grateful for the privilege to change the world,ready to fight for a true cause.Weep No More.. Master Police officer I only had the pleasure of knowing Derek for a very short time. I met him earlier this year when he was teaching at the Corrections Academy. The first time I met him during our defensive tactics class I though we were done for, I thought he was going to work us to death, but he didn't he was a very caring guy he just wanted to make sure we understood everything they were teaching us. He wanted to know that we would be able to defend ourselves if need be. I only wish I had the chance to actually work with you I think I could have learned so much more from you. Derek you will never be forgotten, just the other day I was told by an FTO that i should try to make my officer presence like DW because he was "a perfect example." It was an honor to have you as a teacher I truley admired you. God Bless you and your family. Correctons Officer Jaime Dennis MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND MAY HE GRANT YOU THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON AND KEEP HIS MEMORIES ALIVE TO ALL 911 DISPATCHER, ERICA TOLSON
