With sincere Pride I salute my Father for the effortless dedication he made by serving the Indianapolis Police Department and the citizens of our great city. As his son all I remember growing up was seeing my Dad in his uniform. Through his dedication he taught myself and my siblings the meaning of being good citizens. My Dad was buried on Christmas Eve 1975. While assisting a person who had been shot, the shooter then killed him. He was liked and respected by many people while doing Community Policing. He would exit his patrol car and have conversations with any and everyone. My Father is terribly missed.
