Reflections for Sergeant Timothy J. Henck

Today I received the memorial scholarship for Timothy Henck and I didn’t know him or anything about his story. I had the pleasure of speaking to his wife afterward to find out more about him, then did my own research and ended up here.

Though it has been a number of years now I wanted to write this to say that Timothy will never be forgotten. His heroism and bravery will never be forgotten. I aim to go into the law enforcement field and protect people as Tim did. Earning this scholarship and learning his story will be something I carry with me throughout my career. He will forever be one of my inspirations.

I am so sorry to the family for this loss.

I will borrow part of a Seger song since I still dont have the words. Miss you Bud.
" Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I Recall"

Tim

I've been thinking lately about all the great times we had back in the mid to late 80s. It's hard to believe it was so long ago. Although our paths only crossed for 4 years you made a great impression on me.

To the dear Henck family,

I just came across this...feel like I should have known this already...but haven't lived on LI since 1986. I wanted to express my sincerest of condolences for the loss of Tim. One of the things I so vividly remember about Tim was his HUGE and LOVING heart. I pray that you will somehow take comfort in Christ's promise of eternal life with the knowledge that you will one day be reunited. Rest in peace Tim.

Never had the pleasure of knowing you Tim , but I knew and worked with your beautiful Wife at the time of your death. It was a hearbreaking blow for those that worked with her. Your baby girl is 14 now, I am sure you are watching over her.
All these years later, you are not forgotten , and will never be.
Rest in eternal peace.
