Deputy Honored in Death

Three alert tones on the radio were part of ceremonies honoring Hall County (Geo.) Deputy Tim White, who died one year ago in an auto accident. Following the tones, a dispatcher announced on the radio that White’s badge #419 would be retired. White was the first deputy at the agency to die in the line of duty. Sheriff Steve Cronic said the agency would forever commemorate Oct. 3rd to observe and remember White, not to dwell on his death, but “how enriched we were by having Tim as part of our family.”
