Bill Lott was my father. I only had ten years with him, but in those ten years he made an impression that will live on throughout my life. I followed in his footsteps in law enforcement. Though I will never be the person or officer he was, I try daily to make him proud. He touched many lives and after all the years that have gone by often times I hear stories of his influence on others. I was told once that he was taken at such an early age because there was a need for traffic control on the streets of gold. Rest easy Daddy, I still have it down here.
