Your influence has cast far and long. Your presence as a father continues to help cops through your son. Who has guided myself as both a father and a cop to sort through this dual life we lead; helping me to be more effective at both through understanding. He is both kind and wise as I imagine the apple fell near the tree. I cannot think of anything of which a man would be more proud and satisfied than knowing his picked up the flag and continued the march. God bless you.
