Definitely wasn’t about the money but actually *serving his community.* Remember, when he started working as a cop he worked for free. This is what being a peace officer is. It was a calling for this gentleman.

I had a hard time believing he was 93. He looks great for his age. Thank you for your service, sir

He sadly passed away a year and a half later. RIP my friend, you truly were one of the very last of a dying breed.

It's very rare to meet this level of integrity these days. Many from those generations of 1920-s, 1930-s, 1940-s had it.

Imagine how strange it will feel for him, when one day he wakes up and doesn't go to work, after so many decades of being there every day...

I don’t think it was about the money. It’s something he loved doing with his time. It wasn’t work to him. Nothing wrong with that. Of course he was to old to be out there patrolling as a beat cop. He had a good relationship with the community so the Department gave him a safe position off the streets.

I remember first hearing about him when he was 91 even though I'm over here in Arizona. About to turn 94??? Damn!

[sylvestercarter]

Well, nothing can stop this gentleman from doing the things he loves, wow
