I love you and will always miss you. I was so proud of my uncle in the Navy and then a Police Officer. I probably should hav told you that more often then I did. For that I am truly sorry. The world is a sadder place without you in it. Rest in Peace and Know you are Missed and Loved and Never Forgotten!!!
