I worked for the captain as a sergeant at District #6 in the 80's. He was a very likable and diligent leader. He enjoyed talking about the "Captain's Cabin" on Kangaroo Lake and his many adventures in the military. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family. Great guy! I was assigned to his Command at Milwaukee Police District #6 in the mid 80s and learned a lot from his example. Very organized. I remember his Roll Call notes that ended with "Continue to March".
