I remember that he told me how much he hated the new Crown Vic's. A boat on wheels, he called them. Every time that I would see one, I'd think of him. It makes me think of all of the little moments that you share alone with a person. You don't think much of them at the time, but this is one of those moments that has stuck with me after all of these years. I wasn't aware of this horrible incident at the time. He was a good guy. A loving husband and protective and proud father. What a tragedy. It makes me wonder, when will this insanity stop? My condolences to the family. Stay safe, LEO's.
