RadioOnFire.com - Snow and freezing rain did not deter hundreds of people from coming to the Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, for the first day of visitation for Harford County Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey.
He was one of two deputies shot and killed in the line of duty in Abingdon last week.
Law enforcement officers from around the state were among those who came to pay their respects. By evening, there were people standing in the lobby of the church's worship center, where the visitation was taking place.
A large American flag stretched across two ladder trucks at the entrance to the church complex. The tucks were from the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, where Dailey was a volunteer firefighter for 37 years.
Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told reporters the outpouring of support has meant a lot.
The visitation will continue on Tuesday at the church from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m. The visitation will include a firefighters memorial at 7 p.m.
Dailey's funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Gahler says police officers from as far away as Colorado are expected to attend the funeral.
The visitation for the second deputy killed last week, Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon, will take place Thursday and Friday at the church.
His funeral will be Saturday at Harford Community College.
