View all 10 ReflectionsI was born 21 years after your “End of Watch”. You would have been my Great Uncle. Unfortunately I never met you or your brother, my Grand Dad, because he passed away one month after my birth. From the stories I have been told, you and my Grand Dad were both great men and I wish I would have met you both.
