Not sure what to say?





John and I were regular partners on beat car 101 during the years 1962 and 1963. We not only worked together but we became great friends. We also took a trip to Florida with two other co workers. That was a trip we always talked about during our later days. We always exchanged Christmas cards and notes. The last card I received was last Christmas (2018). My best memories from my 32 yrs with the CPD were the days I had with John. He was a great guy and you could always depend on him. He will be missed.
