This is my husband's grandfather. Very proud of him & all officers. We still have his handcuffs & coat he was shot in along with a couple newspaper article from his shooting.
I have been told many stories about you. And I always wondered what you looked like. No one had a picture. I am truly honored to know my great,great,great grandfather was a police officer. It is a great sadness that he lost his life so many years ago. But you still live in are hearts forever. I guess law enforcement runs deep in the blood cause starting next Aug I to will be following my dream to protect and service. Thank you grandpa for all you done. Love you your great great great granddaughter. Oxoxox
