Commander Petty was one of the most amazing men I have ever met in my life. He was so Tough, Funny, Loving, Patriotic, Generous and always treated everyone like they were very special, no matter who you were or what your position/rank was. Everyone was important to him. His life was incredible. I will always have so much respect and love for this wonderful man. He will always be admired, loved and missed by so many people who adored him. I am honored to have known him and will treasure our fun times together at South Precinct. He was a True Hero, Leader and Friend. Rest in Heavenly Peace Commander and please accept my heartfelt sympathy to the entire Petty Family...that means Gunner too! :-)

It was an honor and pleasure to call Earle a friend and colleague. He was a man of integrity, commitment and dedication to his family and the community. He always spoke the truth clearly and abruptly and you always knew were he stood on an issue. He was a mans man with a pure and gentle soul. He will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy to his family.
