Jerry....I remember talking to you after I joined the Inkster Police Reserves and the advice you gave me for my safety. After your death I entered EMS and kept your advice close to heart. I think about you still as you were a friend and a brother in blue.
Thank you my friend for your advice, your service, and your sacrifice.

A public Safety brother.

Dave Davidson EMT.
