Corporal Eric Stotler had dedicated 33 years of his life to being a Law Enforcement Officer when he medically retired in 2019. He was an incredible officer and this retirement was difficult for him. He was a tough man, a loyal man, and would be the first one to run towards a fight in order to help others. In addition to being a dedicated Law Enforcement Officer, Corporal Eric Stotler was also a loving father and an even better grandfather to his five granddaughters. During his free time, he enjoyed spending time with all of his family, hunting, and golfing. He even made his children golf clubs so that he could teach them to play one of his favorite games. He was a good man, a hero to many, and is missed dearly by his loved ones.
