MAY IT NEVER BE FORGOTTEN



May it never be forgotten as you patrol your beats

that you are human too, simply protecting our streets.



You close your eyes each night when you fall asleep,

praying to survive the challenges we know that you will meet.



Your oath is very sacred, you are honorable and true

The uniform is the same, brown, gray, black or blue.



The morals and values you represent are ones chosen by God,

You must do your best to succeed, to shine in your job.



The people of the community rely on you to protect,

They may not always show it, but for you they have respect.



The dangers and the pressures that face you are present every day,

And our thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way.



The support may seem very minimal from those of us out here,

But know in your heart that for most of us, one thing is very clear



You are a law enforcement officer, a cop, a brother in blue

No greater respect can be shown for anyone like the respect we have for you.



We may not always show it, but please know in your hearts,

Our prayers are with you daily, as you try to give our children life’s safest start.

My life and the lives of my children will never be the same without our beloved here with us.



Billy's death was brutal and senseless yet, he died doing what he loved best. If he was here to speak to us now, he'd tell us that he has no regrets. I know that.



Billy had a wonderful gift to give to us all, a special quality that made him a wonderful officer, a good friend to those who knew him, and someone for the kids of the community to look up to, to rely on and to respect.



Ashtabula lost one of their finest the day he died. He will never be forgotten.



It is in his memory that I wrote the following, so that he and all others remember that there are many of us still out here who respect not only the job that they do, but the sacrifices they make so that we may continue to live...



May it never be forgotten....

Before Billy and his family moved to Ohio, I had the opportunity to work with him at Chesapeake Sheriff's Office, and went to Deputy school with his wife Marianne. My thoughts go out to her and their family and wish them well in their future without Billy. God must have had better plans for Billy in heaven. God bless the family and friends he left behind.
