"Trooper Joe"

Anyone who met him, would real soon know
The kind and gentle soul that was Trooper Joe
He said he rode dirt bikes, he told me so
I had hoped to ride with him, Trooper Joe

But his house I was buying, I could never know
That 2 years later I'd be reading about Trooper Joe
My mind was reeling, time was moving too slow
When I saw on TV the face of ole Trooper Joe

I didn't want to believe at first, but ya never know
So I surfed the Net and found, it was my Trooper Joe
I was inconsolable, I wish Teri could know
That I too am grieving for her Trooper Joe

How could one so cool be dragged so low
Why did the devil himself hurt our Trooper Joe
I could spend my life asking and will never know
Why a coward with malice took away Trooper Joe

To serve and protect in rain and in snow
That was the promise made by our Trooper Joe
A better officer or gentleman the world didn't know
I'm so glad to have met you back then Trooper Joe

He was a leader of men, front of the class he'd go
Brave men followed him willingly that Trooper Joe
I'd follow him too but I'm not ready to go
I hope you understand, good ole Trooper Joe

Now you're dirt biking in Heaven, don't go too slow
When my race is run we'll finish our ride Trooper Joe
We'll shift the gears and watch the horizon grow
But not yet, until we meet again my brave Trooper Joe

Take care and rest easy bro......

I met Joseph Longobardo many years ago, I was the person that bought his townhouse in Ballston Spa. I met him only twice and was UBER impressed with this young guy, Marine, MRT unit State Trooper. He rode dirt bikes as a teen and was impressed that I was a real racer. :-)

And only a few short years alter I kept seeing the news report, my brain refused to connect the dots until Joe popped thru a computer monitor and said, "ITS ME." I had NEVER forgotten the life stolen from so many. I was hurt for his family and tried ot help but they were dealing with a lot.

MANY WILL REMEMBER Trooper Joe...including me. So when on a work furlough from my downstate Verizon garage I was given a job at this Trooper barracks.. I was shocked at what happened next. Follow teh links to see my story.

RIP peace, JL, we will meet again, and ride soem heavenly dirt bikes.

Your man,
MJ
