I heard the stories of my Great Great Grandfather and I am so proud to call him part of my family. My family members always talk about the "Crosswhite nose" well seeing him and looking at my mother, aunts and grandmother I see the beautiful relation in bone structure and the look of strength in their faces.

It is wonderful to know that there is a page like this to pay respects to our heroes. As the great-grandaughter of Ollie Crosswhite and the wife of a police officer, I am proud to see our law enforcement officers honored and remembered. Carrie B.

Ollie,
I had a chance to meet your son, Freddie Joe, a few months ago.
The calaboose -- the city lockup where you took prisoners, now houses a Community Oriented Policing substation and department history museum.
Your son and some friends came to tour the calaboose. I recognized him as soon as he walked in because he looks just like pictures I've seen of you.
Joe is 72 now. Although he was only two when you were killed, your family and friends obviously made sure he knew his father, if only through their memories of you. And he was kind enough to share those memories with me. By the time he left, it was almost as if you had visited yourself. I think you'd be proud of the man I met that day. Gail DeGeorge, Volunteer
