Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Charles Aubrey Fisher

Rest in Peace brother

July 18, 2006

While it is no consolation for your loss, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and fellow deputies of Deputy Fisher.

While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect thorugh his military and civilian careers.

Rest in peace my friend; those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin blue line.

Deputy Fisher,
Thank you for your service. You will always be remembered as a hero. Our deepest condolences to your family and the brave men and women of the Portsmouth Sheriff's Office. 2006 has certainly been a dark year for Virginia law enforcement. Deputy Fisher, we know that you are indeed standing with brave and honored company. Rest in peace, brother.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

A true HERO! To serve a career in the United States Navy, retire as a Master Chief, and to be welcomed in law enforcement. It takes a special person to complete both missions that Deputy Charlie Fischer has completed. He served his country proud by earning the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, retiring from the Navy and then serving his community honorably by serving as a Deputy with the Portsmouth Sheriffs Department. I am saddened to hear that one of our finest Sailors and Deputies mission is complete on earth and has accept a new set of orders in Heaven.

For his family, I can only say I am sorry for your loss, you have sacrificed a lot during Charlie’s life, to stand behind him while he served his nation and now with his unfortunate death as a law enforcement officer. Look for support both from the Navy and The Law Enforcement community in Hampton Roads. May GOD give you the strength that you need during this trying time.

To his fellow Deputies, and Officers, I pray that GOD give you the strength and watch over you as you continue your watch and beat of the Hampton Roads communities.

GOD BLESS TO ALL!

Rest in Peace Brother! It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright . . .
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast . . .
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one . . .
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by . . .
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you . . .
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light . . .
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again . . .
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound . . .
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face . . .
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind . . .
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
