Phillip Essex

Today I got to work and checked my email, only to find one of my fellow classmates from the academy took his life. His name was Philip W. Essex. He was a great person and I will miss him dearly. It is wierd though because he is the second person in my class to die. The other one was Sean Sivertsen. He worked for Summit County and he died of cancer. It is hard for me to fathom that two men that I sweat and bled with, to become an officer of the law with, are gone. Anyway, I am not very good at expressing my feelings. So I just wanted to say to both Essex and Sivertson that they will be missed.
