I worked with an officer in Norwalk in the mid sixties and we were teammates on our CHP basketball team. My ID#3749. He transferred to Bakersfield before 1970 and he was hit and killed in the early 70’s. I don’t remember his name but that has to be the same person. Too many similarities not to be him.
