 Was at a memorial service for a first responder from a neighboring agency today. Damn, I didn't know him as well as I feel I should have. That Last Call is powerful none-the-less... There really isn't anything else like it.
Sorry guys for bringing the mood down here; needed to vent. |

Yeah, you can hear some End of Watch calls on YouTube, pretty sad.

I have heard a few in person. Last one was for a capt/good friend who lost his life to cancer. Damn that was rough.

A co-worker who suffered an AAA on duty back on '01 survived that then retired, after 26 years OTJ. He then survived bouts with other issues, including organ shutdowns d/t the loss in BP.
He found out a few weeks ago that he had Stage IV Lung Ca when he stopped by the station about a month ago. I found out he passed this last Saturday. He reminded me of my Dad in many ways. I remember him doing the NYT crossword in ink while listening to Jeopardy and answering the questions correctly. We developed and maintained a friendship, and his funeral this Saturday is going to really suck. |

I know it will suck when that happens.

At the annual LE Memorial service our SO has speakers outside the building so the crowd can hear the dispatcher make the 10-7 call. Not a dry eye to be found.
