On a visit to Aunt Jean and Uncle John's about 10 years ago, Christopher showed great interest in the large whirlpool bathtub in the master bath. When it came time for his bath that evening he really wanted to take it in the "Big Bathtub", but his mean ole mom wouldn't let him. He soon got over his disappointment! The next day as we were getting ready to head home, Christopher was running down the hill in their front yard and took a tumble. He got a few scrapes and a little dirty. Uncle John offered to take him in to clean up Christopher's boo boo's. After waiting for what seemed to be forever we decided to go into the house to see what was taking so long. As you can quess, after looking throughout the house we found them in the master bath. Christopher, with the biggest smile, swimming around in the "Big Bathtub". With all our love and prayers!

I worked for Deputy Chief Conner in Special Operations Division many years ago. He was a great guy and commander! I had no idea he lived in Winchester, I've lived in Front Royal since 1980 and for a lot of years had to keep it quiet with the police dept, because we were supposed to live within 25 miles of the District!

Mark, Jess & Will, Mickeal & Dennis and I leave our sincere sadness to you and your family. We wish could have know him so much better but our paths did not go that way. About a year ago I had a patient, that was a retired police officer for Washington DC, he knew Uncle John and spoke very very repectfully of him. May you have peace! Love Jo Ann
