needed to come in here and chat. Its been a while and so much is going on. Especially with our son. I am sure you are proud of him. He has finally done it and his hard work is paying off. He is in the NC Academy. Please watch over him and keep him safe. He is super excited and just loves the PD Family he is joining. We talk almost every day about his progress and I can see that spark in him. He reminds me so much of you. I am sure he will do just fine. You taught him well. Destiny is doing well too. She is a manager for a tax company and is still in FL with me. She took after me :) . It's hard sometimes not having you around to talk about these things that are happening in their lives, but I am sure you hear us when we speak. Looking forward to his graduation and I know you will be there by his side. Missing you as always. Til we meet again!

Hey there Daddio! It's been some time since I come on here. Jaidyn always says, " I love my abuelo," and is always asking about you, so I tell her all the great stories about you. I also came on here because I have some awesome news and hope you're proud of me and that I'll continue making you proud. I finally did it dad!!! I start the police academy in October a few days before your anniversary. It took some time for "ME" to be completely ready physically, mentally and emotionally. I did it on my own which makes it that much more rewarding. Lengthy process but Im 100% positive I've made the right decision with an amazing department. I'll continue to hold you deep in my heart and soul. Love you always and forever... Class of 126 here I come. It's finally my turn to say this to you daddio... I GOT THIS KID!!!

THEN YOU DIDNT LOSE ANYTHING"" Well your absenses does NOT bring me PEACE & I definately LOST a hell of alot!. Truly missed! No one knows my pain. XOXO!!!

Jose, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, happy birthday up in heaven, my memories of you will always be cherished back when I stated my career in the 44th Pct. You were always smiling and what a great cop you will always be! I remember assisting you with a 10-53 ( vehicle accident ) with injuries and you always went the extra mile to help others, I’ll miss you dearly brother, I’ll see you again on the other side. 44 for life.

I have spent a lot of time on this site, but this is the only fallen officer where I spent a couple hours reading every single comment. And even though this was weeks ago, I remember that the anniversary is tomorrow. So sorry for the loss you all experiences. To those of you who commented who were there, do not blame yourselves. There wasn't any way you could prevent this. To the family and friends, so sorry. Hang on to each other, all of you. Looks like you have an awesome support system!

Yesterday was the 2015 Ft Lauderdale yearly memorial. It was nice to be there but the feeling was still the same on this your 10th ann. Rich invited us to come so both Destiny and me showed up. He waited for us at the entrance and walked us in. He has always stayed in contact with us and has not changed a bit. Dont need to ask you to watch over him and the rest. The best things about going was seeing all those people again and NOT seeing any new names added to the 12. You are truly missed! xoxo

Jose..I was having a hard time sleeping tonight and found myself reflecting on my memories of you. I looked you up online and started reading all of the fond memories from your friends and family. You worked the security detail at the hotel I worked at and you and I spent time talking about god and life in general. Although our time together was brief I will never forget our conversations. You made a positive impact on my life and I can tell you impacted many others as well. You were truly an angel on earth! Miss you brother

You were always a numbers guy. Your badge #343 was the same number of FDNY firefighters that were killed on 9/11. So today as I browsed your reflection page I realized that its been stuck on 342 for quite some time. So I have to take this opportunity to connect with you again my brother. You are greatly missed and will never be forgotten.
