I just learned that OJ passed on. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his family. I worked under The Sheriff as a deputy from 1979-1983. I am forever grateful to OJ for giving me my first job in civilian law enforcement. We met when he was training at AP Hill. I was an MP working the main gate. He told would hire me when I completed my enlistment and he held true to his promise. Rest easy Sheriff.

Sheriff Moore was sheriff when I was born and as I grew up in Caroline he was a great man. His wife was the secretary at my primary school. While working with EMS in the county I transported a fatality to a funeral home without getting permission from the Medical Examiner (due to a communication issue between the county and VSP) I came to the Sheriff´s office to work out the issue and Sheriff Moore was outside and I told him I was coming to his jail for this. His words of wisdom were "Don´t worry about it boy" and his word was his bond. Condolences to the family and you will be missed.
