I was the nurse saw manager assigned to
Keith Hogan - the surviving officer of that horrific accident . I helped guide Keith through recovery for over two years. He never gave up but lost a lot of himself that day . I could write a book about his and his family’s struggles . The other young man was kind of an unknown in the picture but I was always aware of his existence . I am so happy that you have chosen to honor him . Keith and I are still in contact and I know he was touched that he has not been forgotten . I am glad to have had the opportunity to contribute - many thanks - Sandy Tutt RN

Thank you for honoring these fallen hero’s . I knew Eric very well, all he ever wanted to do was protect and serve , becoming a police officer was his goal in life. Fine young man, father and husband goon to soon.
