Love and miss you dad! 50 years and still think of that last day out the door to school, and your kiss. Your a wonderful man, always honored, never forgotten, nor or your fellow officers whom I pray for daily. Just wish we could have had more time and you could have met your two lil grandson's. Thank you for watching over all of us and protecting us still. Love you so much!
