In tribute

38 years. You could have gone home.

Chief of Narcotics Verdi gave the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office 38 years. Still answering calls at the end.

Thank you for your service to the Belle Chasse community. Gone but never to be forgotten.

Rest easy, Chief of Narcotics Verdi.

— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
