Micheaux,
I knew your Dad when he was prowling the streets of the Third District on midnights a decade ago. He brought a special style and flair to the Detectives' Office, and was very helpful to me on a number of occasions. He was a good man, and he was lucky to have you caring for him until the end. God bless you and your family.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to all of William F. Stansbury's family. Stansbury and I worked together for over 20 years at 3D. Our common interest was automobiles; we both had vettes when we were younger, and then the same type of SL's later. We answered many radio calls together he in scout 100 me in scout 95. He taught me a lot of thing when I first got on the job in 1970 and, I always appreciated him for that. I will miss too. May God be with you all always.

We were so surprised to hear of the passing of Stansbury. My husband worked with William, on the Metropolitan Police Department at 3rd District. There aren't any words to take away the pain of a loss. We would like to leave you with these words:
Those we love remain part of us. "Our loved ones leave the world, but never our hearts."
