RL355 wrote a sympathy message

“Matt So many memories of the years working together as local police officers and off duty as security at Sears. We had foot chases, fights with resisting suspects, thousands of cups of coffee, and some good laughs, while we taught each other to be better cops. Always reliable and confident you could not find a better partner to have your six. Rest peacefully brother, you lived a life as a police officer, husband, father, and grandfather that even good men can only wish for. Rich Lizzano”
