I didn't know you, but knew of your heroism that ended your watch on my birthday in 1990.
The details of that incident and your courageous response to that call for help left an indelible mark on my life, and is the reason I became a police dispatcher. Today, As I tell my adult daughter of the officers that gave their all to protect others while they responded to this call on my birthday in 1990, I looked your memorial up and saw your name on the ODMP and was able once again to put your name to the story . Thank you, sir, for your service and your sacrifice.
True heroes live forever in the hearts and memories of those whose lives they've touched!
