Very Sad News, Pat Rogers Passed

[Kirk Freeman]

Pat Rogers died unexpectedly this morning. They broke the mold when they made him. The story about how he got on NYPD (he was under height) makes me smile every time I think about it.

I hope he got to write everything he knew down somewhere.

Sad day for sure. Pat was a wealth of knowledge good humor and just a great man to listen to.

In his own sadly appropriate words..."We are diminished"

"Diminished" doesn't even begin to cover it. Pat was one of the first instructors I trained under, and one of the best. Rest well, warrior; you've earned the **** out of it.

RIP to one of the greats! Sad news.

I think he would prefer this photo (it has a dog in it):

I do not have words. I was going to spend five days with him, starting tomorrow. He was coming to the house on Friday for steaks after class. Now can't even say goodbye. Rest in peace, brother Pat.

This is my favorite Pat video hands down.

Story goes, they not only broke the mold, they beat the mold maker so it would never happen again! Fair winds and following seas, Marine. Semper Fi!

"Did we go over that?"

"I personally saw twenty-three shots to the penis during my NYPD career." (you have to imagine all the "s'" being drawn out and whistling a little bit.

"^%$#@* a *&&^%$#* duck, Freeman, if a war broke out on the square range, I'd make you a General."

I like the second pic too. He looks like a detective in one of those cheesy 80's cop drama series in the top pic. Respectfully, RIP Pat Rogers.

Saw the news this morning of his passing and was very sad. One of my heros.

Everybody dies. . . . but not everybody lives. Pat LIVED every day! "Life is Good!"
