I worked under three Douglas County Sheriffs, including 16 years for Sheriff Dick Roth. He was more than a boss, he was also a mentor. We were working hard on a high-profile homicide investigation and he popped his head into CIB and asked how it was going. I was frustrated that some of the witnesses were uncooperative and actively lying and impeding the investigation. I never forgot that he listened intently then told me something that I never forgot. He said "Life is tough for most people. Much tougher than it is for you and me." It changed the way I approached people from then on. Thanks, boss. RIP
