View all 12 ReflectionsMy uncle Ernie, a man I never knew, my Dad’s eldest brother, and sole income provider for his mother, Lily V. Leonard, and five siblings, was only a few days away from taking his bar exam when he was unfortunately killed while riding Motorcycle #13. A car not hearing his siren pulled out in front of him sideswiping his bike. He died from a fractured skull a few days after the accident. He is a true hero, dying in the line of duty. Thank you Dallas Police Dept. for remembering all our Fallen Heroes in Blue at your Memorial
