My thoughts and prayers continue to be with Roy Tate's family.
I was blessed to have worked as a civilian with and around him at the Fort Worth Police Department since 1969.
He was an excellent police officer. And, was so kind, caring, and supportive.
May your many memories of him be comforting to you through the years.
God bless you all!
Sincerely,
