View all 21 ReflectionsErik, it has been 32 years and we once again gathered at 6am to remember you... some of the deputies gathered today were not born yet when you left us. It is incredible that so much time has passed since we parted after line-up, agreeing to meet for breakfast after the shift. My reminder to all that were gathered today was to appreciate those around you and to take care of each other. Appreciate every day that you have... there are no guarantees or routine calls. Stay safe.
