I received an e-mail from a buddy I used to work with today. A good friend and one heck of a LEO died yesterday, on duty, from apparent natural causes. He was found in an unresponsive state by a security guard in his patrol car. Ervin Johnston and I used to work together at the Police Department in Homewood Alabama. Several years ago he moved back north to be closer to his family after his mother became ill. "E" was one of those guys that was so easy going he made you comfortable just to talk to him. A great guy and solid backup, you never had to worry about whether he had your back, he just did. I'm going to miss him allot.

 

My condolences...Sounds like an honest fella full of courage. I'm sure he will be missed. His family as well as you and all the others who were close to him will be in the prayers.

 

My condolences on your loss...always tough to lose someone that you were that close too. I know it isn't much comfort, but at least he died naturally and not at the hand of some scum bag.

Our prayers are with you yours at this time.

 

I feel for ya buddy. Its never easy to lose someone you knew. We are all sadened with you.

 

Sorry to hear that T-Rad. May God bless his family and friends.

 

It is sad to lose a friend let alone a fellow Leo.

My condolences to his family and you as he was lucky to have a friend like you!
