Rest in peace
Gunny, you were a sweet guy with a sharp sense of humor and a whole lotta police knowledge. I will miss you and so will the whole DKPD family. Rest in peace, Gunny.
Gunny was the real po-lice. God bless you. R.I.P.
Gunny was funny. Always with the window down and his arm out smoking a cigarette. He handled the 150's territory better than a rookie. You passed on a lot of knowledge. Rest in peace.
I've known of and about T.G.Moore for many years. There was so much b.s. flying at his funeral,that I actually had to ask someone if I was at the right service ! A combination of Rocky,Rambo,and Dirty Harry !! I know he was laughing his ass off,wherever he is. I know I was!!
