Every time I drive down I-45 at Mt. Houston I think of you Royce.
To your sons I want to tell them your DAD was a great guy and friend to my family. My Brother David Maxwell and Royce met and became friends long before he joined the force. He was at our house often.. I remember one night Royce, my brother and I went to an all night Clint Eastwood festival at the drive in movie. All the old spaghetti westerns Eastwood stared in. I think of your Dad often and wondered how you boys were doing growing up.

Take care and know your Dad has not been forgotten!

Its hard to believe its been 33 years. Time never heals completely. As a Firefighter/ Medic I am reminded all the time of the all too frequent LODD. At my station, on a LODD, wall I keep track of all the FF LODD because we vowed to "NEVER FORGET". I started this cause it helps me pay honor to those who have died. The same honor that was paid to you. I tried hard to stay out of the public service line of work, but the call won me over. I have a photo of you on the inside of my locker at the station to remind to stay safe and "Everyone Goes Home" I love you very much and miss you greatly. P.S. all of my uniform shirts have R. Anderson printed on them. #479

It seems like yesterday I was rushing to help you but I was so
far away it took forever to reach you. I don't know why it took
so long to get you medical help,I don't know why Life Flight wasn't
available. I can only conclude that God needed you on the streets
Heaven. Rest in Peace Royce you will not be forgotten

Tuck Or Bubba My name is Christopher Trink Anderson. I know nothing of you or Eberheart. I only know what I was told. Thomas has been great help with my closer I guess. I just want to know more about my father out side of his family.I am not the same person at home that I am at work. I love my father deeply but don't remember that much sometimes I make up my own memories of him just to make my self fell better. Did you run the neighborhoods which I grew up or that he grew up. I will leave my contact info, and would love to talk to you please contact me at [email protected] or 214-234-6543. I'm not looking for closer because I know that you may not be able to give it to me but I lost m father at 6 years old not enough time to know him like ya'll did please contact me if you wanna talk. And Thomas thank you for so much already. I know this may be hard for you also thanks again.

I attended the HCSO Academy with Royce and worked at the Rehab and Patrol with him. He was my car share partner and a good friend. My reserve partner was with him the night of this terrible event. Royce and I use to run in his neighborhood off of Aldine Bender. He not only was a good officer but was a good friend. He bragged about his boys all the time. To this day me and my reserve partner miss him very much and after 31 years of law enforcement he is still on my mind every day.

I attended the HCSO Academy with Royce and worked the Rehab and Patrol in District 2 with him. He was a good friend and we use to run in his neighborhood. He was my car share partner. My reserve partner was with him when this tragic event happened. It still haunts me and my ex partner to this day. I am retired now and I would like to make contact with one of his Boys that he so much bragged about. After 31 years of Law Enforcement I still consider him one of the best.

DAD
You and I were so young when you
left this world, I try everyday
to find memories of you
I sometimes make them up just to
make myself happy
You are the man that I hope I can
grow up to be
But it is so hard to fill your shoes
Because without you here I don't have
a path to fallow,
To see what you were like and to see
how you lived I would give anything
I could, You died an Honarable man
someday I hope to live the same and
leave this world and leave behind
a wonderful memory as you did.
