It’s been 21 years today Danny since we lost you. Not a day goes by I don’t think about you and miss you, your smile, quick wit and unyielding friendship.

You were an incredible street cop and you left and indelible impression on every officer who was fortunate enough to work alongside of you.

There will be a day when we will ride again as partners.

I miss you terribly. With all my love.
