On August 10, 2005, you paid the ultimate sacrifice you laid down your life for your fellow man.

Even though we never met we are all brothers, and today
four years after your passing did I find your memorial page.

May God bless you and your family and our brothers and
Sisters of the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

I miss the fights at COTA, the cigarette game, our criptic greeting and asking everyone we met if is was Soda or Pop. The day you left us is a day I have never recovered from.

Tim,
Today I attended the service of Officer Hite another good man that I knew. Over the last week not only have his family been in my thoughts and prayers but also you and yours. I cannot believe it is almost three years since you left us. I think of you often with happy thoughts. I will never forget you.

Well, Tim..where do I begin? It's gonna be three years in
August since you left and there's not a day that goes by I don't think of you. When I'm working at the jail, I still wait to see if you're going to come through the sally-port. I pray for your family as often as I can. You will always be in our hearts and minds. We miss you so very, very much. Keep watching over all of our brothers and sisters, and keep them safe.

Tim -

We all miss you very much. I can't believe its been almost 3 years since we lost you.

I know you're up there watching down on us. C and I are expecting our 2nd child in September. Docs say the baby's a girl.

Keep an eye on us all down here... Keep pushing at me when I give up - seems like you're always there when I am tired and need some motivation. It will all pay off soon I hope.

We miss you bud. But we'll all be together someday... save me a seat, okay?

Deputy Graham,

I just graduated from SALETC. They still talk highly of you at the academy. One instructor mentioned your smile.

I noticed your class guidon missing, and the Sergeant told us it was with you.

Thanks man. We'll keep you proud.

"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.

Hi Tim,

Well, Morgan Ainsley is here and she is an angel! I don't feel like I have to tell you this because there is a picture of you in her crib and one night I put her in there to attend to something else and when I came back she was giving one of her first smiles while kicking her legs and waving her arms seemingly self entertaining. But there was more excitement in the air and maybe she was laughing with her silly Uncle Tim... I hope you all met before she got here and that she somehow gets to know you throughout her life. She has so many good people in her life and you are one of them so please visit often because we love you very much!

Always, Julie

Hey, kid. I'm comin' up on the last few years and I'm trying really hard to help the young bloods make their bones. It's hard, there's so many of them and so few of us old heads. Gets a little hairy out here with them, too, and I'm trying to keep them safe - trying to stay safe myself. There's still a tear in my heart where you left us. I was so sure, prayed so hard, that I would survive 20 without loosing a little brother. Help us not loose anymore. Help me look after them and be their 78. Be mine, too.

Tim -

Here it is again... the anniversary approches. We miss you down here, and I know we will never forget you. I've talked with Sherry, and we both agree that you are looking down on us.

The boys are so well behaved... I've sent them a couple of cards for their birthdays. Tim - you have given us all so much... and your sacrifice, while it is sad to think of, will never be in vain.

Rest in peace brother! Keep watch over us all.
