Uncle Frogg, you will be missed and you have a special place in all our hearts. You always brought the party to any family get together...and the stories of your stunts will get passed on for a long time to come...Especially the eggs in winter and dancing to "Celebration" forever! Thanks for all the great memories, profound wisdom and thanks for teaching your family not to take themselves too seriously. My most heartfelt condolences to your entire family and may the Holy Spirit comfort us in this, our time of need.

Prayers to the DeNacola family...Ever since I was a kid I heard nothing but good things about the DeNacola family...when you are a cop's kid everyone is family in the "Police" world....I am sure the Captain had a place ready for his son..and I am really sure my Dad (Parker Miller) is already telling his stories ........ Another legend has past on....

So sorry for your untimely loss the bible says at Ecc. 9:11 that "time and unexpected events overtake us all". But the bible also says at Rev. 21:4 that soon "God will wipe out every tear and death will be no more" I hope this gives you some comfort in your time of loss.

We were very sadden to learn of Tom's passing. As a good friend of Dan and a fellow officer, I would like to offer the Policeman's Prayer: When I start my tour of duty, God, Wherever crime may be; As I walk the darkened streets alone, Let me be close to Thee. Please give me understanding, With both the young and old; Let me listen with attention Until their story's told. Let me never make a judgement In a rash or callous way; But let me hold my patience. Let each man have his say. Lord, if some dark and dreary night, I must give up my life... Protect with understanding love, My children and my wife
