I consider myself fortunate to have known Spuds, both from the neighborhood and the Police Department. He was an excellent Police Officer and a better human being. We had a lot of fun on our trips to the mountains and the casino. I will always remember his willingness to help others. Until we meet again, I know you will be watching over us. See you again Spuds.
