This is such a terrible event...keeping all involved in my thoughts and prayers.

Tia,

This is indeed a sad event; and; of course all are in my prayers.

My grand-father was a policeman and I had a great-uncle who was a firefighter.  I was brought up to have the utmost respect for the people who put their lives on the line for us everyday.

I pray that all of the families find peace in God.

In prayer ... April

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the families and friend affected by this tragedy.

STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY OF STATE POLICE HELICOPTER PILOT STEPHEN BUNKER
 
The following is a statement from the family of Maryland State Police Pilot Stephen H. Bunker.  The Bunker family deeply appreciates the outpouring of support for them in their time of grief and loss. 

Quotes from the Bunker Family
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones in this tragic accident.  Steve was a loving, devoted husband and father, and we will miss him more than words can say.  Being a pilot for the Maryland State Police fulfilled a life long dream for Steve.  He loved helping people and he loved aviation.  Being a pilot for the Maryland State
Police enabled him to do both.  Over his career in aviation, Steve and his colleagues saved countless lives.  He was a hero to his family and all who knew him.  He died doing what he loved to do.  My husband was a rock within our family for 23 years.  He has been, and will forever be, the love of my life."  Sherry Bunker (wife)

"My father has always been a role model in my life.  He taught me to be honest, work hard, and keep life in proper perspective.  He is truly my hero."  Stacie Bunker (daughter)

"I couldn't imagine having a better father.  I'm really going to miss him."  Shelby Bunker (daughter)

"He was a great Dad.  I'm proud to have had a father who risked his life daily to save others.  He is my hero."
 Scott Bunker (son)

NOTE:  The Bunker family does not wish to conduct any media interviews and asks for understanding of their wish as they grieve.  Please direct any questions to the Maryland State Police Office of Media Communications.  Recent photos of Pilot Steve Bunker are available by contacting [email protected].

Thank you, Terri.  It was my intent to post this today.  It's MUCH more profound and meaningful than the rhetoric spouted by all of the "concerned" politicians.

Thanks again,

Tia
