I am David Sponhour. I worked with Ira from 1973-1978. I now work at Carrollton P.D. in Carrollton Texas. Ira was a partner on the same shift I was on at Inkster. He would do anything in the world for you and backed me up many times. I went on to Carrollton and came back for the officers funerals. That was a very sad day. May Ira,Danny, and Clay never be forgotten. They will not be by me. I hope there will be a 10 year memorial for them in July 2007. They deserve it.

Wow- this is Mike Pelkey's daughter - he was partners with my "uncle" Dan and Mr. Ira Parker both in Inkster. I am embarrassed that it took so long to find this page, but my dad Mike is sick, and "Smitty" from the police force rings a strong bell with bell wtih my dad's stories. If you see this (or anyone else),it would make my dad's (Mike's) world for some contact. I have my dad and mom out in Colorado.

This has brought 15 years of memories right to my face immediately (i was a whooping 13 years old). I would love for my dad to have some contact.

Thank you

I WORKED WITH SGT. PARKER AND THE OTHER OFFICERS THAT WERE KILLED. SGT. PARKER WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND AND PARTNER OF MIND AND WE ALWAYS HAD EACH OTHERS BACK. HE TAUGHT ME ALOT. APPROX. 3 MONTHS EARLIER I WAS TRANFERRED FROM HIS PLATOON WITHOUT EXPLANATION. THROUGH OUT THE YEARS I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HAD I NOT BEEN TRANFERRED AND THERE ON THAT FAITHFUL DAY,WOULD I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENT. ONLY GOD KNOWS. TO SGT. PARKER AND MY OTHER FALLEN BROTHERS REST IN PEACE. SMITTY
