Reflections for Town Marshal William M. Dooley

Captain Dooley, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the sacrifice you made in an effort to maintain the line that separates the monsters from the innocent. I wanted to state again, how honored I am to have descended from you. Saving A Hero’s Place is currently constructing an honor chair for you. It will be placed in the police department for all to see, so that they may know the sacrifice you made was not in vain.

I think it is fitting that I thought of you this morning, and then I saw that this is the anniversary of your end of watch. I never knew you, sir, but I left a reflection a couple of years ago. My father and I researched our ancestry and discovered that we are your living relatives. Chief Davis recently gave us your plaque and it hangs on my wall. I am honored to have it, and I am honored to descend from you. Thank you for your service, Captain. I've got the watch, rest easy.

I would like to take the time to say that we found out that Marshal Dooley, did have family still left in Hartwell Georgia, On February 1st, 2016 the memorial plaque was given to the Carter family who is a desended of Marshal Dooley. He also still has family in law enforcement in this police department.
Thank you Marshal William Dooley for the job you done, and keeping the blood line going with law enforcement in the family.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
