Police Officer's Memorial Day

Also, on Friday, May 15th, flags in Utah and throughout the United States were flown at half-mast in honor of all policemen and women who have died in the line of duty.  That included Gary's grandfather, Joseph Quigley.  Here is the write-up about him on the Fallen Heros page--

JOSEPH HORALD QUIGLEY

Patrolman Joseph Quigley was shot and killed after surprising two men stealing gasoline from a car.

He had just completed his rounds and had been picked up by two other officers to be driven home when they spotted the men. Patrolman Quigley jumped out of the police car and gave chase. He then jumped into the back seat of the suspects' car as it sped away. The suspects inside shot him several times and then left his body at 23rd and Monroe Streets.
Patrolman Quigley had been employed with the Ogden Police Department for four years, and is survived by his expectant wife and four children.

Gary's mom, Horaldene Virginia Quigley, was the baby who arrived a month later.  She was named after her father, but they began calling her Holly when she was very little and that is the name that everyone knows her by.

Our flag at half mast---

As is customary when bringing a flag in at night which was flown at half-mast, the flag is raised again to the top of the mast (to honor hope in my mind) and then lowered and taken down for the night.  It was a sweet moment to remember---

You can see the name of Joseph Quigley in the memorial to policemen on the Utah Capital grounds and also in Washington, DC, at the national memorial.
