I never had the chance to tell you how much you meant to me. You changed and guided my life for the better. I was a confused and wild teenager.You took the time to care about me. You are the standard I used to gauge character many times in my life. The year you died I went into the USAF. I served my time and eventually went into the reserves.3 yrs ago I was activated and sent to the middle east. Many times you were with me in that Aircraft. If It wasn't for you I never would have been in that aircraft. I owe you Sir and will never forget you. Our rescue motto is "These things we do that others may live" You lived It every day. God Bless you and I pray someday I can thank you.

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. Any officer who dies in the line of duty will always be remembered for his sacrifice. You died a hero. Rest in peace Trooper Black.

Although he was gone several years before I started with FHP, I'm glad I could assist in the capture of one of his (and Coprporal Irwin's) killers in September 2003.

To paraphrase one of my favorite movies:
"You can run, but you can't hide."
