Men in Blue -- Widows in Black

◼ Men in Blue -- Widows in Black
What does it mean to give your life to the call of duty?
In the last three weeks, Humboldt County has lost three veteran officers: Brett Davie, Ben Nord, and James “Butch” Manos. At ages 63, 34, and 58 (respectively), each of these men died of a heart attack.
While it's common knowledge law enforcement officers have a high-stress career, it is still difficult to grasp the loss of these men. In each instance, these men lost their lives not in the line of duty, but during ordinary activities of their off-duty lives; one in his own backyard, one while vacationing in Trinity, and one following his daily workout.
Thirty years ago, officers walked a beat and had personal relationships with the people they served. Back then, the public had a better feel for and about law enforcement.....

Thanks you and Bless you, Dave Parris. And condolences to the families of Brett Davie, Ben Nord, and James “Butch” Manos.
