Rest in peace brother.

To Protect and To Serve

I don't know why you chose this path

It was surely not for pay

There's no routine or certainty

That brings comfort with each day

You leave your home and take with you

Silent prayers of family

They know the dangers you will see

They pray on bended knee

Your eyes see more in just one day

Than we do in an entire year

You strive to make our homes a haven

Safe from harms way and fear

You vow To Protect and To Serve

People you don't even know

You treat them all with dignity

Despite the filth they show

The way you serve with care and honor

Reflects your reputation

You wear your badge with such great pride

And it serves as confirmation

You never know with each call you take

If this will be your last

But yet you continue to take each one

And let your doubts just pass

This is your eulogy while you yet live

To wait for your death is sad

How much we need you to keep on going

To survive in a world gone mad

I used to travel this way all the time, when my brother lived in Carnegie. I have probably seen you, passed you, asked you for directions. I know wish I could have said thank you one more time...

"There are heroes who walk among us
never looking for glory or praise
They don't seek recognition
for their thoughtful, caring ways.
Living lives of deep commitment
providing protection and calming fears
Steadfast with a quiet strength
through times of crisis and tears."


"Blessed is St. Michael the Archangel, Blesseds are the peacemakers, for thiers is the Kingdom of Heaven."

"I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper, a Soldier of the Law. To me is entrusted the Honor of the Force. I must serve honestly, faithfully and, if need be, lay down my life as others have done before me, rather than swerve from the path of duty. It is my duty to obey the law and to enforce it without any consideration of class, color, creed, or condition. It is also my duty to be of service to anyone who may be in danger or distress and, at all times, so conduct myself that the Honor of the Force may be upheld."

Rest peacefully, my friend.
