Hi partner, today is 40 years since that horrific day. I will never forget that day as long as I live.

I think about you all the time, all the fun we had all the police stories. I miss you dearly. I know you are

patrolling the Heavens above and watching all your brothers and sisters in blue.

Love you,
Your Partner, Tom
