Gone but never forgotten. Your legacy of service lives on in your family. I met and married your great great niece when she served as a police officer and a 911 dispatcher in SE Wisconsin. This year our son was sworn into the local Sheriff's office as a Deputy Sheriff and I continue to serve on the Wisconsin State Patrol. A true blue blood family continuing to stand your watch. RIP
