It is indeed a very sad moment for the family of Nicholas Sottile and the Florida Highway Patrol.

I want to express my personal feelings, and for the Indiana State Police Department.... It's really a rough life and sometimes we give all we have to offer, including our lives.

God bless the Sottile family for your contributions.

As a retired police officer and wounded on the line of duty too I can identify with Sergeant Sottile family's pain and sorrow. I ask God to give them comfort and strength in this time. To his son I can say that today his uniform is dressed with a bigger honor by knowing that his dad has given his life for our nation.
The Bible says that authorities have been placed by God, so by Him will be blessed.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Sergent Nicholas G. Sottile and would like to offer our condolences to Sergent Sottile's family. As a Lake Placid resident we want to say THANK YOU for protecting us and making the ultimate sacrifice.

Our thoughts are with all who loved him and knew him.

They walk a beat of concrete and stone,
They drive through the city in a car, alone.
They swallow their pride, their prejudice, their grief,
They deal with all kinds, from preacher to theif.

Sometimes they get weary, from fighting this fight,
To punish the wrong and defend the right.
Defending a sacred creed and code,
Of freedom and justice, they bear the full load.

You don't ever see them for what's deep inside,
The pain, the anger, or many tears they've cried.
For you, for me, and others in fear,
Seldom a "Thank You", do they ever hear.

If you could look at their heart, just once,
You would see,
Their own life is the gift given to you and me.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sergeant Sottile's family.
May God give all of you the strength needed during this difficult time.
