You will be greatly missed LB. From the time that I met you in the police academy, to being one of your partners on the road, there was never a dull moment with you. It was an honor to learn and work with you. I still can’t believe this has happened. I know you’ll be watching over us and have our six. Rest In Peace brother, until we meet again.
