Today I received an email from Officer Adam Williams asking me to thank everyone that came together on behalf of Richard Werner (see article below). I believe that Adam has summarized the feelings of all of us that were involved with this event. So, without further ado, here is the email from Officer Adam Williams:
Sergeant Smith,
I would like to thank the different media outlets, as well as employees of the city that brought attention to Richard. For me, It was very humbling to painted in such a positive light. I would also like to thank everyone who benefited Richard, either directly or indirectly. I was glad that things worked out the way they did for Richard. It is rare that we get to experience the positive effects of this job. It is also rare that we feel so appreciated. How great it was to see someone so gracious and humble. He was truly appreciative and I was touched at the kind things done for him and the joy it brought him. Could you thank all of these people for me?
My hat is off to all the local news outlets as well as the City of Lakeland.
Sincere Thanks,
Ofc. Adam Williams #176
