Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

AJ
It's been three years today since your death. I still remember the RPD Officers approaching me and telling me of your death. I remember us going to the news in your area trying to learn what happened. We were already reeling from Joe Corr's death, then to have another LEO so close by die in such a brutal way again really rocked us. Then we learned your family lives in our area. We will continue to be there for them, just as they are here for the new survivors that come to us. Your, your family, including family of Grey Riders remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I still think about you everyday. I trully believe I always will. One of your favorite little girls talked to me the other day about you and the great memories she will have of you forever. At least our memories of you can't be taken away- not ever. You will be loved forever.

Well, my friend, another year has come and gone. Even though the tears have slowed, I still miss you as much as ever. The good news is that some of the goofy times we use to share still come to mind and I'm able to smile. I cherish those times.

Tomorrow the park will be renamed in your honor. I'd like to be there, but I can't. It still hurts too much to be in the place where you left this earth. Your parents are two of the bravest people I know to visit it so often. I wish I were that brave.

I love you and miss you still.

It is that time of year again. Three years have passed and each day is still challenge. I still cannot pass a deer, turkey or red ranger without thinking about you. It is just not fair that you are gone. You are missed. They say a life is judged not by how many people you have loved, but by the number who have loved you.

March 1, 2006, is a day that none of us will ever forget within the NYS Police family. I tell George all of the time that he was fortunate enough to have known you and worked with you. And I tell our kids that the freedom that we often take for granted is never free. Unfortunately, people have to lose their lives so that we can enjoy those freedoms. It is brave men like yourself who put themselves in harms way to protect the rest of us. You are our hero Andy. Thank you! God Bless your entire family, Sue and the girls and your colleagues at SP Horseheads. May your legacy always live on. We will never forget.

I said a little prayer today for Trooper Sperr and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

I remember that horrible day like it was yesterday. My brother worked at the same barracks, along with other friends. It matters not that I never met Trooper Sperr. he was still a member of the extended trooper family. It hurt me as much as if I did know him. He is my hero. God bless you, Andy.

Andy,

Been thinking a lot about you lately, again. Dogs, deer, and the extended family. Since it fell into my lot that I should rise and you should not; I'll keep doing what we do, 'till they make me stop. Watch for me brother; and pray for me, as I do you. I miss you as always; and hope that you are well. My anger may have passed, but I have not forgotten you; nor do I expect to.

Tpr Sperr, I was just reading your reflections and wanted you and your family to know, we do think of you often. When we travel to Buffalo, every trip, we stop at your memorial and say a prayer. Tracy explains to our 7 yr old son about how she knows you and we try to explain why you had to go to heaven. We always tell him that you are watching over dad when he works and all the other police officers. We wanted you to know you are not forgotten. Rest in peace "brother"

Andy-It's been a while since I've left one of these. I saw a red Ranger the other day and my heart just stopped. After almost 3 years there are still times I think it might be you. There are so many times when something happens and I think to myself I need to call and tell Andy that. I miss you. I can't wait to see you again. I love you.

Trooper Sperr,
I met your brother in Vt in August 2006 and now I have met your sister! We met while participating in the COPS WALK this past weekend. I never thought when I left an earlier reflection in 2006 that I would once again meet one of your family members. I'm sure that your sister was as proud as I to walk in memory of her "hero". She survived the entire 25 miles even though she had a cold - you are proud of her I'm sure! Thanks again Trooper Sperr for your service!

Andy,

I still remember when you and the first wave of guys from our station left for NYC on that horrible day. All of you showed what giving of yourselves truly means.

Still miss you and will remember you always.

Andy- we are honored to be going to the park tomorrow to join our "Elmira Gang" and your family. As difficult as it is to go there, we will continue to support all of them. You will be on our minds all day, as you are every day. You are never forgotten.

AJ, I was just thinking about you and I haven't been on here in a while. I still talk about you constantly, about your ability and how you have changed the way I look at things. Having been on this job a little while, I can say there was nothing like the "good ole days" in Monroe. Kooch, Robbie, me and you what a blast it was. Still miss
you bro... Thanks for the memories.

I just got back from DC and saw your name on the wall. That tragic day hit me again like it just happened. We will never forget you brother. Rest easy from all at RPD.
