Robert Christensen was my Dad. I was 10 and my sister 11 when he was killed. We were so blessed to have him in our lives even for such a very short time. It is hard to believe it has been 63 years since his death. He was a very special person, is deeply missed and will be forever loved.

My thanks and prayers go out to all the officers of the LAPD. May God bless you and keep you safe always.
