Koz,
I will miss you. I will miss seeing you at the football games and talking about how the local high school and college teams are doing. Although I haven't seen you much since I left night shift, I will always remember your warm greeting and smile when we were getting ready for our shift. You will always be a great cop and a great man in my mind and heart. I will look forward to seeing you when I get there brother.

I am very sorry for the loss of this police officer. I would like to extend my sympathy to his family. I was also the victim of domestic assault in my previous marriage. We take our police force for granted. This hero gave his life to protect someone`in their time of need. I hope the police department will find a special way to honor his memory.
