To my dear friends Scotti, Jack, Rikki, and the Marvin, Hawkes, Fairbanks, and Carpenter families and extended family, we are so saddened to have lost John. We share your grief but can only feel a portion of the pain you are all going through. We were so fortunate to have had John with us. I can't think of a single time that he was with us when we weren't laughing at one of his jokes or stories. He was funny, smart, and loyal to his friends and family. He served his country proudly and then dedicated his life to protecting and serving people back home in Connecticut. His legacy will be the honor that we all had in being able to call him our friend, brother, son, and trusted soul, and it will be in the smile and eyes of little Jack, and in Scotti's love for John. Our prayers are for your peace and comfort in this time of such sadness. We are so lucky to have known someone that whenever his name will be mentioned will cause everyone to smile. That is a rare and special man.

To The Entire Marvin Family, May God give you comfort and guidance through this horrific time. Losing a loved one is heartwrenching i know. I don't know you but Officer James, I told you once in a thank you that I would never forget you. You responded to a DV call a couple of years back, and your professionalism and most of all your sincere human kindness and your so comforting words of wisdom I will never ever forget. It sounds like your brother was definitely made of the same cloth. Know your entire family will be in my daily prayers.

Though it has been only a few days since you have been gone, I sorely miss seeing your infectious smile and your sence of humor. Going to work will not be as fun as you made it to be.
My prayers go out to your family and friends, and as my favorite Irish Blessing goes.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
