I recently spoke with Lt. Fraley's niece who said she still grieves for her wonderful, strong and loving uncle and that he is still her Hero!
As I was looking up Lt. Fraley's picture at work a fellow officer recognized his name and said his dad, another CPD Lieutenant, thought very highly of Fraley and said he was VERY well liked throughout the department. Lt. Fraley was killed 55 years ago and this officer, who never met him, remembered that his dad thought so highly of him.

I was approximately 6 years old when my Uncle Al was killed. I remember traveling from Michigan to Ohio spending summers at his residence with my family and his. I have great memories of my Uncle Al and he was the reason why I became a Police officer in Arlington Texas. I spend 30 years as a Police Officer & Detective in Texas. I will never forget the great times we had, even though they were short.

Dear Lt.Fraley,
Although I was only 7 years old, I remember the tragic news of your death...and the manhunt for the bottom feeder who took your life. It was all my parents and grandpartents seemed to talk about for many days. I could sense that many people in this city, many of them strangers to you, grieved over your very tragic death.
I salute your courage, and deeply honor your sacrifice.
Sleep well my brother.
