Eddie was my best friend and my partner. I was there to dig his and Bob's bodies from pile of bricks and the crushed patrol car. These old buildings were burned during a race riot the night before. The world was suddenly not such a good place when we lost these two men, friends and police officers. They are missed.

Eddie,
You left this earth before we knew each other. You have had a profound impact on my life and I wish we had been given the chance to get to know each other.
