View all 7 ReflectionsMr. Hancock will be remembered. I may be the youngest person here who remembers him -- he worked closely with my father, and his wife was a close friend of my mother, and baby-sat me when I was about 3 years old, around 1960. When Mr. Hancock died, I was about 5 years old and realized for the first time that law enforcement officers put their lives on the line daily.
