As time goes by it never really does get any easier to know that someone like you is no longer with us here. You are still to this day greatly missed by all. I am still overwhelmed by the fact that Doug is up there with you now. Tell Doug that he is missed and thought of alot, just as you are. This is for you both


~ Protecting Us Below ~
On the day they found you there, your life was taken without a care. As every brother and sister arrived, uncontrollably we wept, we cried.

Knowing we have to make a start, to fill the void deep within our heart. Even tho' you have left us behind, you'll always be with us in heart, spirit and mind.

Reunited one day we shall be, No longer victims on the 'Streets of Misery'. But til' the day we meet again, I will cherish the memories of my brother, my friend.

Not gonna' sit and cry, instead I will smile...lookin' up to the sky. You'll be up where all angels in blue go, protecting your brothers and sisters below.

Hey U!
6 weeks ago you got to have my best friend join you in heaven... Perry, I miss him!! Not a minute goes by that I don't think about him or remember something about him!!! I was still waiting for this time thing to make things easier from when you were taken from us! I'm not sure who came up with 'It will get better in time' but they lied!! It doesn't!! However, whoever said 'Only the Good die Young' they were right!! I'm guessing God has a plan which is why he took you and Douggie away from us way to soon.... I only wish I knew what that plan was!!!
My heart breaks a little more each day... Things are so much different without you and him here! They will never be the same again!
I hope you guys are up there in Heaven hanging out with eachother... And I hope you guys will continue to watch over all us every day!!! I love you both and miss you both so very much!!
Perry... Tell Douggie I love him!

Uncle Perry,
Sitting up late tonight reminiscing of the good old days with you and Frank. We miss you so much. It's hard to believe it's been over 5 years. You touched our lives and we think of you always. Wish you were here. Miss having coffee at The Wheel. Thank you for ALL of the great memories. They mean so much. You will NEVER be forgotten. WE LOVE YOU!

ZAK AND SHAWN GOOD

I want to say Thank You to all of you who wear the uniform and tell you how strong and brave you all are! My daughter's boyfriend died 05/17/2009 at the age of 18 and then my fahter died 06/18/2009 and Doug Alward was there to console my family and then the night of my fathers funeral my cousin was killed in a car accident on francis road and then I heard about Doug. I know that Doug and Perry were great friends and I feel so sorry for all of your losses and I want you to know that I am praying for your pain to lighten and I also wanted everyone in the department to also know that you are all hero's! The pain I have been feeling lately is unbearable and all I can do is pray it will get better. You are all so brave and you will always and forever be admired and respected by me! May God Bless you and keep you ALL safe!

Not to be a jerk or anything, but that big round table is getting pretty full up there. Now you have the precious "Green Giant" Trucker and were all here mourning our loss and the only thing that brings me comfort is knowing he's with you. Allie,Dillon and Jordie's lives will never be the same and that is devastating to us all. We miss you all and will forever wonder why these things have to happen to some of the greatest, most compassionate,loving,devoted,loyal and dedicated people that we were so very lucky to have in our lives for what seems to have been just a short time and yet long enough to be forever in our hearts. Your are forever thought of, loved and missed. Everyday.

I love you

Perry -
Your dad has joined you there. He too was taken too early, but he is done suffering. Your Mom has worked so hard taking such great care of him, now her boys are together. We continue to think of you often - and miss you always.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Wow...five years...time sure does go by fast. It doesnt seem like its been that long since you left us. You are thought of quite a bit and are dearly missed by all of us. I have had a rough week and I know I came to you. I know you were there just like you always were. I remember so much and I miss you. Im sure you are watching over your family and fellow deputies and friends. I would leave more...but I dont know what to say. God Bless Perry

I can't believe how long its been since you were taken from us. You were truly one of a kind, always ready with a joke to cheer a person up, always ready with a kind word when they were down. You will always be missed....and you will never be replaced.

Hey you, has been a while. Had our friends over today. doug ,allie,jordan, helen and baby. Was hoping the whole time that is was in a dusty redneck basement with lighted beer signs and bluegrass playing. you have no idea how much you are missed. Erl made that tape with your voice on in and it makes my hair stand up. How I wish I could talk to you just one more time and just like the song , it wouldn't be enough.......never will be. miss ya, we all do. you will always be in my heart Bum, I miss you and love you. I pray that you watch over your dad and maybe put in a good word for him. He is suffering so bad bum, so anything you can do would be appreciated. love you always, BOBBY

Perry,

I remember you sooooooo well. I was priveladged to serve you in the times of morning. I am going back to transports. I was told that you were going to transports so you could work days and be home with your bride at night. I really think that this is a Perry Filmore molment. You left such a HUGE impression on every one you worked for and with. I am glad that I served with and for you!

I only knew you for a short time but realized you were a wonderful person, friend, husband and officer! You were rare and everyone has lost someone very special. You made a lot of people smile. You are the definition of a HERO and my thoughts and prayers are still with you, your family and your friends.

Never Forgotten!!

Bum,
Just returned from the Police memorial in DC. Everytime I go say a prayer at your place in the wall. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I still remember sewing Al's coat sleeves shut, and everytime I do I start laughing. Rest easy my friend and take comfort in knowing how important and loved you are.

Waiting till the day we ride together again,

Took a trip to visit you at the cemetary the other day . . . there was bird "do-do" on your stone - I whiped it off and the sun came out. I thought that might be your way of saying thanks. Then I got into my car to leave and a bird dropped some on my window . . . you "bum" - I could just hear you laugh!!!!!

Perry, you would be so proud of Paula. She has came a long way in the last 4 years. I know you watch over her along with so many others. I hope you know how much you are missed. Someone like you can never be replaced in your job, your family and our family, to your endless number of friends, or to Paula. You are most certainly one of kind. Rest in peace and continue to watch over all of us Aunt Joan
