Israel, on the thirty second anniversary of your death, you continue to be honored. I remember driving to Arlington from Richmond like it was yesterday. Your funeral was SO honorable. Rest easy my brother. With brotherly love and utmost respect, Jim Crotty (Former Richmond, VA Police Officer.)

I remember as a young Richmond (VA) Police Officer traveling with several others to your funeral. You are a true warrior . . . and were sent off to be a blue angel by well over a thousand officers on the day of your funeral. Rest easy my brother . . . we'll take it from here.
