My condolences go out to Vickie, Family, and to the Mecklenburg Co. Sheriff's Office. Sport was always to the point, but had the respect of alot of people. I enjoyed working with him at the MCSO and know he will be missed. May God be with you all during and after this difficult time.

I cannot tell you how sad I was to hear that "Sport" had passed away. He was such a great guy. I worked for the Town of South Hill and saw him all the time. He always liked to give me a hard time and I gave it back. I know you all will miss him so very much. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you in your loss. May God be with you each and every day. Love, Barbara Hudson
