View all 10 ReflectionsOfficer Savalis, it's now been 45 years since you were taken from family and friends and no doubt, for many it feels like it was yesterday. You never got a chance to truly show what you were capable of and I believe the people of Brockton were severely cheated.
God Bless, Brother and may you forever rest in peace.
