He was a man who expressed himself largely through his physical being; he was a trained Diver, a Runner and, of course, in his duties as a Law Enforcement Officer. He abhorred domestic violence and was an advocate of “women’s rights”, in short

, he admired strong, confident women. He was an orderly individual at work and at home; he believed in processes and the necessity of organization. While he often experienced the less admirable side of life in his work, he remained optimistic an

d possessed a quick and robust sense of humour. He loved his family, community, his job and life itself. He did everything with a zest and vitality and he never took on anything he could not finish. While he died protecting the lives of the indivi

duals in his community, his spirit tells us he died as he lived - a happy man.
