All of this has been terribly absent all these decades later because of one very violent man taking your young life and robbing you of finishing out your career and retiring the way things should be. A happy marriage ending before its time, your family missing you at their happy occasions and of course your mother Julia, outliving you by almost forty years. The work she performed at Sabal Palm Elementary school here in North Miami Beach, Florida rejuvenated her and kept her going through your dad, Charles and your senseless death. Your comrades and family have remembered and solemnly saluted a most humble and blessing man, provocative, caring, compassionate and loyal whose name and legacy stands for hero, honoring every resting officer.
