I remember Noreen
In Honor of Officer Noreen A. Vargas
I went to high school with Noreen, her sister Fran and brother Mark. I also attended her memorial service which was very touching and heartbreaking. I haven't reached out to the family but I will always remember her smile and their close family. My heart broke for them and still does to this day. God gained another Angel that day and I pray she is still looking over her family!

Still Remembered
In Honor of Deputy Juan A. Escalante
As the anniversary of Deputy Juan Abel Escalante's untimely passing is upon us again this week, I find myself reflecting on the profound impact he had on all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. The morning we received the devastating news while I was at the Inmate Reception Center is etched into my memory, a moment of disbelief and sorrow that united us in our shared grief.

Like yesterday
In Honor of Deputy Randal E. Jennings
I hear your voice, like yesterday,
Your good natured laugh, like yesterday,
Your ready friendship lifted us all,
You tried to help, you took the call.You were more than just a boot trainee,
You came with such humanity,
You didn't care what hard hearts said,
You came with who you were instead.I saw you on your knee to talk
With troubled souls who couldn't walk,
You listened with both mind and heart,
You heard the spoken and the silent parts.I hate what happened, what was taken away,
On this blackest night in May,
In your example, we will forever see,
A man who walks tall in eternity.We miss you and honor you, always

In Honor of Officer Raymond A. Messerly Jr.
Ray was a great and considerate fellow motor officer. He wouldn't hesitate to go out of his way to help other officers. I had the pleasure of working with Ray on a number of occasions. Always a pleasure to be around and always willing to go the extra mile to help a brother officer. Truely a great guy who upheld the highest tradition of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Remembered
In Honor of Officer James J. Rapozo
I had occasion to meet James at the gym. It was a quick meeting but friendly. At the time I was working with FedEx and between police departments. I was formally with the Indiana State Police and later retired from Fresno Police Dept.
My Son was a local HS wrestler and he introduced me to one of his fellow wrestlers at a tournament That young man was the individual who shot and killed Officer Raposo, and subsequently was killed by other police officers. Such tragic way for two very young men to die. One in the line of duty, the other caught up in the criminal world. As I get older the list of Officers I have know killed in the line of duty continues to grow.
My heart goes out to James's family and I pray they have gone on to fruitful happy lives. Rest in peace Officer Raposo🙏🏼💙
