Randy,

It has been almost 25 years since you left all of us. I am proud to say that I have followed in your footsteps and became an officer too. The hardest part was telling your mom my decision but she has always been supportive and says that she prays for me. Of course my mom and dad weren't happy about my decision either but they have learned to accept it. I know that you have watched over me these past 10 years and I wish we could have shared "cop stories" together. I vistited the Police Memorial in October and was proud to see your name there and get an etching. I will be ride in the Police Memorial Bike ride in May to raise money for the Memorial and a Museum. I plan on having your picture with me on the ride. I wish I would have had more time to know you but your memory will always be around us. Rest in peace, your cousin - Kim

I didnt know who oyu were, but my dad worked with you for a few years, and i came across your memeorial card in a box of some pictures, and as the qestioned that enters every cops kid's minds, is WHY. Now after knowing you from stories, you never ahd a chance to live a long life and fulfill your career. Now we new generation cop's will be out there fighting to catch those who have taken the best cops off the streets. I know that all the officers out there think about you every day and do what they do for the people of the community and for you fallen soldiers. I will do my duty with you in the back of my mind, and Serve and Protect.

Rand,

Deb & I listened to Delbert last night, and he spoke about you and the rest of our guys who met your same fate. I had tears in my eyes thinking about you and the other guys I know, Dave from North Chicago, You, and Kevin Rice. We miss all the good times and laughs that we shared when we came on, and over the few years you had left. I know that the guys that you worked with in Freeport feel the same. Being one of your pall bearers was tough, but we know that you would have done the same. I miss you Rand, and will never, never forget you. I think of you always........Russ.
