You were my favorite FTO. I can not believe it has been 12 years. I still think of you often and refuse to throw away the t-shirt we all wore after your passing...even though it has a million holes and is thinner than paper now. You remain my inspiration for what kind of officer I want to become. I remember how Murph would whine at the beginning of every shift until you got him a burger from McDonald's. I will never forget you brother. Thank you for watching over us all of these years. You honestly will never be forgotten.
