I just got back from the funeral for Deputy Heath Gumm, of my old department, killed last week in the line of duty. He had tested for Detective, but the selection hadn't been made. During his eulogy Sheriff McIntosh promoted him to Detective posthumously, added a Detective's star to the flag presented to his wife. He also retired his call sign and badge number. It was a genuinely fine thing to do, and reminds me again of why I loved working for a Sheriff's Office. Pictures of the procession and funeral RIP Deputy Gumm. 10-42.This message has been edited.

Another great man gone! RIP!1 Prayers for his family. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

I hope that it's more than just a gesture, and that his family gets an increase in benefits from the promotion... | |||

I know people die at work. But it’s different if not accidental or natural. What the sheriff did for him was outstanding. Still doesn’t compare to having him alive but the gesture brought tears to my eyes. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Times two. Pictures of the funeral procession bring back a lot of sad memories. Always great to see the folks come out and support fallen public safety. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

RIP Deputy Gumm. Good on you, Sheriff McIntosh. As soon as the government gets your guns, they'll be back to take your Bible. | |||
