Thru Teary eyes and a Heavy Heart I will try to put here what I e-mailed the local paper.

The Officer, (Gary Davis), killed on I-75 this morning is not just an Officer, he is my Friend.
I live in St. Petersburg, FL and Gary not only touched my life in a way that I can't even begin to describe right now, as well as many others.
Gary is a man that was as genuine and sincere a person as I have ever met in my life.
Gary was a man that gave! He gave to friends and strangers both. Gary had a way of conveying that he was not just speaking to you, he cared for you and that was his reason for taking the time to speak.

Gary is going to be missed by his Family and close friends as well as his extended family on his favorite website, Moparts.Com

Gary has touched my life and I know so many others that we will never know about.

I want ALL of MI to know that they lost a Very Good Officer and a Very Fine Person!
Gary had a love for Cars but, His love for his Wife, Family and his Job was far greater!

I want everyone to know, this is NOT Just another Faceless Tragedy!
This was Gary Davis, My Friend
Some how I know that in Heaven, Gary will Protect and Serve from above.

God's Speed Gary

Sincerely,
Chuck West
