Patrolman Noyes, your fate would not be replicated today, and thank God. Enlightenment has come. But Brother, your journey and the end of that journey are part of what changed things. It is because of what you did as a Police Officer and what you endured as a patient, things got better for the generations that followed. You were a hero on a number of levels and sadly were unaware of it at the time.

God Bless you, Sir and with the highest respect I say, may you forever Rest in Peace.
