I went on the site for my dept. for retired Deps and read thru the memoriam section. 58 Deputies that I knew or worked with during my career have passed away, this is just in the last ten years.
Two previous partners passed away in the last 2 days... What saddens me is that so many of them died within just a few years of retirement. It seems like most of them died from cancer or heart attacks... My academy class was only 59 Deps. and 15 of my classmates have passed away, one in the line of duty in 1983..
As I get older I cherish every day, and think of my friends and partners that are in a better place in heaven.
