I just read a recent article in "POLICE ONE" about your life. I'm glad I did. You may have only lived 39 years on this earth, but you saw more and did more than most people who live to a ripe old age. WWII-Army Airborne, Battle of the Bulge, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, just to name a few. On DPD, attacked by a man with an ice pick, having to take a life of a man who pulled a .25 auto on you and your partner. And, because of your alertness and dedication, the man who assassinated the President of the United States was captured. A member of the Greatest Generation. RIP warrior! You deserve it.

My son graduated from Army boot camp on 11/22/13. There was a lot of remembering on this 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. I never knew a Dallas Police Officer was killed that day. Then I learned how you were the hero that day. Thank you for your service in the Army, thank you for your service with DPD, and I thank your family for standing by vigilantly while you served. Godspeed Brother.
