Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am retired now after 30 years. There are certain instances and days that stick out in my mind as I look back over them.

One day that I still remember vividly is when I had your great grandson in the back of my car at an accident scene and he told me that you had been a Columbus Police Officer and had been killed in the line of duty. I brought this page up on the computer in my police car and he told me it was the first time he had seen a picture of you. It doesn’t matter what year we all served, we are all brothers.

Rest in peace, brother

He was a hero in our family that many of us never got the honor to know. We were robbed of his presence, as he was robbed of a future family. I am proud of my great uncle for his service.
