Bill: Another year goes by and things don't really change. I remember each year how your family misses you and as my son, how badly I miss you.
I still blame a bad Ops plan in your death and resent the Sac in cashing in on the use for her own advancement.
That is all water under the Bridge, and the important thing is the number of people that stay in touch and remember you for" a hell of a guy and a straight shooter". In this time of your death and birthday, I love you and morn you each day. I hope that both you and Herb have a grand reunion. We will miss him on earth.

Today is the day that has defined my life since 2006 as before and after today. As each year comes close to this date, I'm always reminded of the senselessness. As always, there is a reminder of the lack of ownership and an act of trying to mask the truth, which angers the rest of us in the know. As much as I agree with the last reflection, I'm trying to focus on what matters and counts. I will always continue to make every effort to show the present the sacrifice you made in the past. You are missed, remembered, and mourned today and every day.

I still have anger at the senselessness and preventability of what happened to you. They are still in denial!

I had the privilege and honor of working with you in the field and know first hand the committment and professionalism that you brought to your duties. My condolences to your family on this anniversary of your supreme sacrifice.

Buddy, you and your family and friends should always know that most of us don't remember you only on an anniversary or other special day. We think of you often – while driving to a prison, while we're out on an operation, when the arrest site is secured, at the range, or just unlocking the office door and seeing your picture. Know that we speak of you often amongst ourselves, with our families and other officers elsewhere. When we think of you, we are in awe of a job very, very well done…

Buddy, your sacrifice will never be forgotten. I think of you often and your heroic actions. You saved others with your selfless actions but we still feel the pain of your loss. You will always be remembered.

Buddy,

Recently, I was in the lobby of the FDC Tallahassee. I had never been inside that place before. I looked around and imagined the events that unfolded on June 21, 2006, and was amazed at your courage, physical stamina, and accuracy that stopped that madman from hurting anyone else.

Ever since, I see your picture hanging on the wall in the MFO lobby. You give me strength to face the day and see it through. I hope your family finds comfort in the knowledge that we remember your bravery that awful day and will never forget you.

Son: It is just after your birthday and just before your end of watch. It is the period that we had a drink for fathers day. My last drink. I will always remember your games that you liked to play, and love you for it. Son I think of you every day and as I grow older, I look forward in seeing
you again.

Just dropping by to say I miss you Buddy. Time and circumstances makes people lose focus and perspective. You are a daily reminder to me not to take anything for granted. I miss you.

Buddy,

I think about you often and I reflect on the laughs we shared together. You were an inspiration to many people and one of the finest investigators that I have ever known. God bless.
