To be taken from everyone and this world at such a young age with many more years, decades to live and to thrive and to think you and your beloved Karen would have celebrated your 50th anniversary sometime in 2025. Wow! Dade County was patrolled by a first class man, a gentleman of compassion, politeness, morals and very excellent and high standard professionalism befitting a public servant. Honor, respect, dignity and integrity so morally profound and vital to the purposeful causes of peace, stability and of course safe havens for the citizens to travel.
