Every time I get into a patrol car at the Peak, I see your sticker in the back window and I think of you and your family. Your loss was so needless, so unneccesary. I was in the middle of transferring to Phoenix PD from a different agency within the state when you were murdered. Because of the circumstances, and because of your family, your death hit very close to home. I often drive by 24th St. and E. Thomas and think of you. Rest in peace. We will keep fighting the good fight, even if it is an uphill battle. Thank you for your service.

Hey pal. Thought of you more than usual yesterday. Speaking to the county attorney on a case and he asked if you were my partner for awhile. He remembered my name and yours together on all those drug cases. Wouldnt you know, later in shift, I found my first occupied stolen since we were seperated. It's still difficult when all the "firsts" come up without you. Scars are trophies you never lose. We all miss you and obviously always will. Rest easy buddy.

Rest, noble spirit, all thy work is done.

Yesterday was "our" birthdays, and I thought about you often. I cannot believe it has been two years now, since I got to spend my birthday with you. I was thinking about the play we went to, and how much we all loved it. It reminded me when I was little and you were always at my birthday parties, getting us into so much trouble, but alwasy so much furn. It is still so hard to believe you are gone. Please keep us all in your heart, as I know you are in all of ours. I miss you Uncle Nicki! Merry Christmas!

On the 1st anniversary of Officer Erfle's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Officer Erfle is not forgotten.

Officer Erfle served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who
knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this
earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a
place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life
(John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Officer Erfle. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can do.

Hey Nick, just wanted to stop by and say hello. We never knew each other on this earth but we all share a bond, being in law enforcement. You have not been forgotten and will always be remembered as a hero. I know that your with St. Michael patrolling heavens streets. Rest in peace brother, Gone but not forgotten....

To the family and friends of Officer Nick Erfle and to his fellow officers in the Phoenix Police Department, and most especially to Nick:

One behalf of our entire family, we wish to pay honor to Nick's memory on the first anniversary of the day Nick so tragically lost his life. His heroism, valor and bravery will be forever remembered.

May you be continue to be comforted by the support and caring of your law enforcement family, and other police survivors. I know from reading reflections your family has found some healing in helping other families on this painful journey. We grieve for you and with you.

Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater when he was fatally shot in April of 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, so we know the anquish you are still experiencing. We know the meaning of lives forever changed because those bullets didn't just kill our beloved officers, but killed a part of everyone who loved them so dearly.

Julie, I regret the hurtful remarks aimed at you by a local disc jockey, and sent an e mail to him telling him I found them offensive and over the line.

Rest in Peace, Nick., May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Nick gave to his community and the citizens of Arizona, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 18, 2007.

A Deputy was killed up here not too far from where we lived during one of our stays in WA. It hit just too close to home- seeing her memorial and processional brought back alot.

After talking about it for years- Darian finally got his four-wheeler. You would laugh- the thing is monsterous! Watch over him when he's out riding... I heard lot of stories about the way you guys handled ATV's when you were young. =)

Nick, We had our fantasy football draft today and needless to say, like alot of things, it wasn't the same. It's been nearly a year now, but it feels like 10. Your the first thing I think of every morning and the last thing before I fall asleep. The only difference the year has made is that I realize it's just not all a bad dream. The shock is gone, but the pain remains. The POS can take you from us physically but you can never be taken from our hearts, our minds, or our souls for that is where you will live forever. You are still and always will be my partner, the seat next to me just looks empty. Continue to rest easy Nick, rest easy. Love you bro...cm7847
