After he died, his wife was appointed to fill the post, and at that time was the first and only female sheriff in Indiana.

On today, the 91st anniversary of your death, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 38th “Cyclone” Division in Europe fighting the Germans during World War .
