I never dreamed it would be me
My name for all eternity
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face

“In the line of duty” I hear them say
My family now the price will pay
My folded flag stained with their tears
We only had those few short years

The badge no longer on my chest
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind
And pray they keep this thought in mind

I never dreamed it would be me
And with heavy heart and bended knee
I ask for all here from the past
Dear God, let my name be the last

You are in the thoughts and prayers of many in federal community as well. What hurts us one, hurts us all. May God bless your soul.. and all those who love you. I can't imagine what they must have gone through there beside you in the last 7 years. I am convinced your life was purely an inspiration to those you knew, medical staff, neighbors, people in your community, and all of us in our law enforcment community. Rest in peace, brother, you deserve it like no other.

Joe,

I remember you assisting me on a traffic stop once in 011 many years ago with a man with a gun. You were a gentleman and your impression lasted. While we did not know each other, the incident affected the entire police department when it occurred. There was anger and sadness throughout the department. Now that you are in a better place, I hope you will continue to watch over us and cover our backs from Heaven.
