I was thinking of George today and wondered what ever became of you. George made an everlasting impression on me in 1984 at the police explorer conference in OH. George was always there with a smile and kind word of support to myself and other cadets. He said all he ever dreamed of was to be in law enforcement. My condolences go out to his family. George may you rest in peace and fly with the angels. Your spirit will remain forever.

Another year. Just seems unreal even til this day. And every day without you hurts more and more. Dad I need you. I love you and miss you so much. I just wish this was a dream that I could wake up from. Nothing is the same without you.

I love you dad always and forever. You are my best friend, my right hand. I will not ever forget all the knowledge and peace you molded into me. My heart hurts and times will surely be missed. I know things will not ever be the same. But until we meet again I'll be right here sitting at the bottom of the sky.

Always Nikolas Tamez.
