Dear Jud and family, 14 years ago today you were on Police duty and helped me through one of the most trying times of my life, when my own father died. You were so compassionate and kind, you were my "rock and anchor" that terrible morning. Hopefully now, in your time of need, you too, have been able to find your rock and anchor to help you get though all of this. My sincerest condolences to you and all of your family. You are in my thoughts, especially today. Stan Olszewski (GFD Retired)
