Dear Editor:
It is with great honor and pride that I write this letter, to thank all the citizens of Monroe County and the folks that I have served with in some capacity while being a deputy sheriff with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
The Keys are a great place to live, work and raise a family. The Keys are made great by the passion, dedication and spirit of the people who live here. My wife, Peggy, and I are very proud to have been able to serve the citizens and hope that we were able to leave a positive mark on our community. Our son, Spenser, continues to serve while also working for Sheriff Rick Ramsay, and I know will strive to keep the same goals of safety, community and family as his priorities to this wonderful area.
Sheriff Ramsay has instilled in his officers community, integrity, honesty and professionalism, which has been so easy to follow because of the support we receive from him and the folks of Monroe County.
Our time of 34 years here has been fabulous and made even greater by some very special people, to include Mark Kohl, Lee Ann Holroyd, Rick Ramsay, Mike Sharp, Mike Forster, the Santes, the Yagels, the Baumans, the Cooks, our Tuesday dinner group, Joey Naples and Sun 103 gang, Judy Hull and the entire Chamber of Commerce group, Upper Keys Rotary Club, the Islamorada Village staff, Terry Abel and his fire brigade, the folks of Island Community Church and San Pedro Church and the District 6 deputies and all deputies of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office that I was privileged to serve with. There are so many more that I could name and I do not mean to leave anyone out but I would need a full page, and
then some, to talk about all the great people here.
Thank you again for all your kindness and support and remember to look out for each other, help each other and be good to each other and there will be nothing that this community can’t accomplish.
Maj. Corey Bryan has served in the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office for the last 34 years, and Peggy Bryan has worked in the sheriff’s office as records supervisor in the Upper Keys for the last 32 years.
