You can get the amazing iPhone 13 for more than half off because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. Funeral services were held at the Mountain Arts Center Wednesday for Preston's Berg Police Captain Ralph Frazier after his passing on June 30th. Frazier was killed in the line of duty Thursday after sustaining gunshot wounds. Police from all around the bluegrass joined for the service, offering their condolences to Frazier's family, department, and the community. There are no words that could adequately summarize our loss. And I can say our loss because Ralph was ours. He was so many things to so many people, he was our brother, he was our friend, he was our judge, he was also our mentor. For 39 years Frazier remained with Preston's Berg Police, having been promoted to Captain just 8 days before his death. During the service, friends and fellow police officers shared memories of Frazier, describing his impact on the community. I called the city hall down there and I said, I know you're all gonna think I'm crazy, but somebody's underneath my barbershop and Ralph shows up, he gets out, spoke in that secret, as Josh said, he comes up and he said, well I might have found it. And he said, we've been looking for somebody, sure enough, he was underneath there. And Ralph, green and smile real big, has put him in the car and I said, thank you, Ralph. And that's just the top guy you are, he was a great guy, and he's true to the truth that we'll be against. You know Ralph worked for the Sheriff's Office for quite some time, then he came to the Preston Berg Police Department. When I was lucky enough to get Mayor Ralph was on the, he was a Sergeant on General Probe. And Ralph was more experienced than anybody we had at that time as far as on the road time. And Ralph took guys, we brought new guys on, young guys on, he took them under his wing and he told them, he told them it's not always about black and white, it's about doing what's right. Captain Ralph Frazier was 60 years old. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Hodgell.
