Tom,

First of all I want to thank you for your kind words about Deputy Harvey. He is a great officer and a credit to all of those who wear the uniform. I am immensely  proud of all of the men and women who work for your Sheriff's Office. For me personally, and I know most of us, the most difficult calls we take are ones involving children and then ones such as this.....notifying you that someone you cared for and loved deeply is gone. There is not amount of formal training that makes that any easier. But for me, it is in those moments of grief with you that grounds me and reminds me that I am really doing something great. I am sure if you ask all of your deputies they would tell you something very similar. So again, thank you for in your time of grief reaching out and commending Ray.

We are all saddened by your loss and our deepest condolences. 

Ron
