On Sunday 09/09/12 Patrick O'rourke's life came to an end. I have attached links to the trust setup for his children and links to articles on the incident.
Brother, I too am a public servant, as I'm a firefighter/paramedic. I know exactly what you are going thru and I feel your pain as I just lost one of my lieutenants roughly a year ago. Firefighters and police work very closely together and I have many good friends who are police officers. GOD bless you and his family and stay strong.
Very sorry for your loss. I have many friends and acquaintances in law enforcement, and have lost some over the years in the line of duty. It's very hard.
Sorry Marcus, my condolences. I know the feeling too well as I lost my co-worker and partner of 36+ years to a totally unexpected heart attack Saturday morning.
