We were blessed with a special friendship that will always be remembered in my heart with all our years of memories on-duty and off-duty with the Patrol. You were a good and honest cop, and a good and decent man who treated all people with respect and dignity. I rejoice for you with joy as you enter into Heaven, but I am also sad beyond words. Rest well, old friend. May God keep Pati close within His heart and comfort her with His love.
