Montgomery County Sheriff John P. Durante Passes

It is with much sadness that we heard of the passing of Montgomery County Sheriff John P. Durante. While we did not know him personally we do know people who did and from heard and read about his deeds as a husband, fellow human being and public law official he was just a fine example of great human being - period.

For this man to have been taken by the Lord at such an early age brings to mind only one thing ... heaven needed him more than we did ... we are not sure how or why but the plans of our God is his own. We viewed the tribute Facebook page for Sheriff Durante (you can see it here) and it alone is testimony to the lives this man touched.

He leaves behind his a wife (he always introduced her as "as my beautiful wife") and fabulous family he was so very proud of! Rest in peace Sheriff Durante as we salute you as the finest example of a human being ... you were taken from all of us much too soon.
