Manny and I used to ride together when we were with Phx. PD. I remember when I was first assigned to ride with him I was not happy. I thought he was arrogant. As time went by I came to notice that he was a great cop. He was senior officer and I learned a lot from him. I admired his professionalism. I also came to realize what a great guy he was and we became good friends. I am sorry I will never get to see or speak with him again. God bless.
