I still miss you brother and think of you often! You died on my wife's birthday, so I always think about you every year on that day. I remember riding with you and the great conversations we had and the fights we got in with suspects!
You are going in the Hall of Heroes at Upstate Warriors Solutions next month. I will stand proud of you as that portrait is hung there! 21 years have passed but you are not forgotten! You were a great deputy and friend. You would be proud of Bryce as her faith in God got her through and has allowed her to have a good life and family. Her parents were at the Annual Memorial Service at the LEC in May. It is always good to see them.
Looking forward to seeing you in Heaven one day!
