A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Tupelo Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

Best thoughts and wishes for the injured surviving officer.

Stauffer and I were roommates during boot camp at Ft. Leonard Wood. With last names names so close together, we were assigned to be battle buddies. It was a good fit right from the start. We always marched alongside eachother on those hot Missouri ruck marches and bunked together on bivouacs. Laughter and reflection on "the real world" got us through a tough three months. I can remember calling jet liners we would spot "freedom birds". Anything to keep our minds on going home. Gale and I always kept in touch even after leaving basic all the way back in 1998. Oddly enough, we both saw tours in Iraq and became cops all around the same time. He was a good man and he will be missed. Love you man. You will always be my battle buddy.

I would voluntarily give my life in support of a fellow officer, even though I'm retired, I still consider myself a part of the family of law enforcement officers. Sorry for the loss of a gallant police officer performing his sworn duties.
