Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Guffey it’s be a while since I stopped by. I wanted to let you know my Mom, Peggy Blake, passed away this past March. You may recall she and my Dad were going to have dinner with you and your wife the day you were murdered. That was a very sad day. May you Rest In Peace.

Officer Guffey was a family fiend. When he saw me in my yard he would often stop and talk to me (I was 4 1/2 yrs old). He would let me sit in his patrol car. If he saw me (or any kid) playing in the street he would stop and tell us how dangerous that was.

My family was planning on going to his house for lunch when we learned that he had been murdered. Its a lunch date we did not keep.

I don't know if my memories of Officer Guffey are real or if they were kept alive by my Mom and Dad. In either case, he was a good Cop and a reminder that there is always a gun involved with a Cop deals with a suspect.

RIP Offer Guffey and thank you for protecting me, a kid living on Cherry Street, Alcoa, TN
