WSP Trooper O'connell

[Gamehunter034]

I dont believe anything has been posted about this so sorry if I am double posting something but just wanted to give a heads up that tomorrow is the memorial service for Trooper O'connell who was killed last week 5/31/13 while directing traffic up in conway. Trooper O'connell was a great guy and a great dedicated Trooper. I work in LE and had many interactions with him at my Dept and he was always a class act. Anyway just wanted to give a heads up that tomorrow's traffic from Island Crossing to Everett ave will be pretty tied up for his procession. I will be attending and hopefully will get some pictures and video. Officer Funerals are never fun or exciting as we mourn our lost brothers/sisters in this line of work. If anyone is able to attend that would be great as its open to the public. Here is a link for more info on tomorrows memorial. Thanks guys!

He was a close friend of one of my buddies. My prayers go out to his family and the LE family he left behind. Very tragic.

I was hoping to attend but couldn't get off work. One of my good friends who is a trooper had lunch with Sean a few hours before he was killed. He said he was having a really tough time coming to terms with it. RIP Sean.
