View all 47 ReflectionsI transferred to Southwest Station ten days before he was killed. As a lieutenant I was assigned to plan his funeral. Although strange, I had not met him as of that time. It was an honor to plan his memorial, surrounded by the presence of his law enforcement brothers and sisters. So many RSO personnel stepped up to help with task, which would not have honored him as it did without them. There are so many sheriff's personnel involved whom ate too numerous to recall. That being said, my thanks to them.
