Reflections for Police Officer William "Nichie" Preslar

Nich,

I was walking the dog and I remembered the hanger incident. As ridiculous as it was I started to cry. That story always made people laugh (or be grossed out) but it never got old. I can't believe that was like 15 years ago. It really isn't the same around here without you.

Billy, I can not believe it is 5 months. I miss you man. I remember the days at Super Foodtown where all of us young guys wanted to work in law enforcement. Well, we made or dreams, but I never would have thought one of us would die in the line of duty. I am in Bagdad Iraq now serving in my USAF Security Police unit and I have to tell you of a sign of you. My wife sent me a package from home, she had thrown a copy of the Dailey Observer in it, on page 2 was your picture and an article of the OCSD fundraiser for Lisa and the girls. It came on the anniversary of your passing. Maybe a sign??? I cut the article out and hung it on my locker. I know you are up there watching over all of us.
God Bless Lisa and the girls. You will never be forgotten. Till we meet again Bro.

Uncle Nichie,

I love you and miss you so much. It seems impossible that you have been gone for five months. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and all the incredible times we had together. I know that you are always watching over our shoulder and protecting us.

I am very sorry to hear what happened, I was there to give my respect with the other officers the morning after. My best wishes to the family, and from all the officers at JLM, we wish the family and the girls the best.

Painting will never be the same without you. Nobody can cut in with a roller like you. We all miss you so much and think about you everyday. There was so much left to do and we just did not have enough time. We had so many good times,so much fun and the three of us are so sad without you to referee and take care of us. We love you

I have to tell you Nich, I'm skipping around. I'm pretty sure others aren't following that particular order either. Ge & I came by to see you today & it wasn't real. We both said we were waiting to see you or get a call. I haven't ridden or gone to Frankies since you left. If you haven't been listening, I'm Still Bitching so pay attention. Miss You Brother......

Still missing you but know you are watching from above and you know all thats going on lately..Who would have thought? Ya know it would have been great but things all happen for a reason, right?

Nich,

Hey what's up? I know you're watching us , so I don't have to tell you how things went on Friday at the Blueclaws. Lisa sent a video of the girls being that they couldn't be there because of the wedding. The girls were great and they did a great job, you would have been so proud and excited to see them on the big screen. The event went well, and funds were made from the sales of merchandise the P.B.A. sold, and will be coming back to your family. Keep watching over all of us from up there. We miss you.

By the way, on Friday, the day of the game, I was making posters at my parent's and I was using spray adhesive. My mom started yelling at me because I was the kitchen table all sticky. She sent me to the garage to get newspaper from the recycling and I picked up a pile from the bunch. The next thing I know, there you are staring up at me. Who'd a thought. After 2 months of you not being here, what are the chances of me picking papers with your obituary in it out of a three month pile. Weird, Huh? But that's how I know you're up there watching over us and that you're ok.

The PBA night at the BlueClaws stadium was great!!! What a wonderful tribute they did for you too bad Lisa & the girls were not able to be there.

Your always in my families thoughts and prayers as well as Lisa,Julia & Gracie. You are very missed

Nichie,
PBA night at the Blueclaws went wonderfully. Your tribute was so well done & so well deserved. We had a great fundraiser for Lisa, Julia & Gracie. If you had anything to do with the rain stopping... Thank you. Amazing Grace will never be the same again Nich. I can't even bear to hear the bagpipes.... They did a beautiful job though. We miss you very much and think of you all of the time. I know you are watching over us, as we are watching over your family. Someday we will meet again & I will be expecting the smile I know so well. You always had a smile....................
Hope you are proud & that you are smiling now.
Love ya Nich.

Billy,

The days just seem meaningless without you here....You had so much planned and it seems that those plans mean nothing because you are not here to share in them. Miss you more each day and always thinking of you. I would love to be there on Friday to see what they are going to do for you at the game but I have to work. I will have you in my thoughts as always but more so on that day. Remember what Sat is right? I know you wouldnt forget.

Well Nich Friday is almost here and you are gonna be honored. We will all be there thinking of you. I know how much you loved taking the kids to the Blueclaw games or even working them, but this night is all yours. Everyone is continuing to pray for you and take care of the family. This Friday will be another special day where everyone is going to come together and remember how much of a great person you were to your family and friends.
God Bless I love ya man!

Billy,
It hurts me every time I see your picture and remember the day we were so happy we finished. It took a long time there after for us to go beyond the trees. We knew we would still feel the pain in our knees and hear our names being called in a scream. Now I look at your picture and tears and sadness consumes me. Why I'll never know! I loved you respectably...My thoughts and prayers will always be with lisa and the girls!
