Trooper Brian William Linn

Brian, I can't believe how long it has been since your accident. I still remember that little boy who loved to devil my dog Beau, you and your brother Aaron. Sitting at our house on Harrison Avenue and the laughter about that dog going after you two youngsters. We miss and love you, Elkins was different back then we sure had some good times with your family and ours. Between Elkins Police Department, and Elkins Fire Department, and Randolph County Emergency Squad, we were all one big first responder's family, and you kids were a light in our lives, the FD Christmas parties, etc. I remember Bill telling me a story about your Dad calling him in one day early morning hours, like 4 or 5 a.m., when he got there, he asked your Dad what we had going on, he told him "it's your turn to cook the eggs." We laughed and did some funny things too, a more simple time than today. How we miss those days. We think often of your family, knowing that you are watching over them, and Dad is there too. Prayers to all until we meet again.
