Joe,

It's been awhile since anyone has posted on your site. I just wanted you to know that you are not forgotten at the barracks. I see or hear thing that remind me of you everyday. Just the other night, Summerhill Twp police had a chase on almost the exact same route of the chase on that fateful night in November 2002. Fortunately this one came out a little better, but it was still a reminder of what you sacrificed that night. God bless you and your family and always remember everyone at the Ebensburg Barracks is thinking of you on the upcoming anniversary of the night you gave the ultimate sacrifice........ You are a hero!

Brother Sepp,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Joe, as time goes on and the days pass, I think of your bravery and courage you have. Tonight will be another night, I'll be looking at that star that is shinning so bright. Thinking of you the day it was done,
still wishing that day had not begun.
Even though I had not known you, people of your kind are very few. Joe hopefully you get the messages I mean,
through my prayers that you have seen.
Until we meet again...Joe.

Joe,

As I'm getting my gear together to go to DC for another national memorial service I'm thinking of you and your family that I only met at your funeral nearly two and a half years ago. I think about you and them quite frequently. Rest in peace my brother. Thanks for watching over us.

JOE,
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY OF YOUR FUNERAL.
AS MYSELF AND SEVERAL POLICE UNITS WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT LEAST TWENTY MORE CARS ALL WITH THIER LIGHTS ON, CAME UPON US FROM AN ENTRANCE RAMP.
I REMEMBER CALLING MY WIFE TO TELL HER THAT ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A SAD OCCASION, I WAS VERY PROUD TO BE A POLICEMAN, AND TO SEE YOUR BROTHERS HURRYING TO YOUR SIDE.
ALSO, YOUR WIFE GAVE HER FINAL TRIBUTES OVER THE CHURCH LOUDPEAKER, AS WE COULD NOT GET INSIDE THE CHURCH DUE TO THE HUNDREDS WHO WERE THERE, AND WHO WALKED AFTER THE MASS ALONG THE COBBLESTONE STREETS TO YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE.
GOD WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Here is an paragragh of what Ted Kennedy said for Bobby at his funeral...I think this fits Joe so Well:


This is the way he lived. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world.
As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him:
“Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.”

See you later Joe...

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, November 10, 2003 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Trooper Joseph James Sepp who died on this date one year ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Trooper Sepp's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Though I only knew you to say hi every now & then, and spoke to you once about witnessing a traffic accident I will always remember you as a good man. It's men and women like you that have inspired my interest in Law Enforcement, though I haven't chased after that dream just yet, because Im not sure if that's my calling. It takes a special person to be a Police Officer. My prayers are with your family & colleagues always. Gone but not forgotten. I pray the Lord your soul to keep and I pray your family will someday find peace.
