Jerry A. Wortman, 68, of Fort Smith, died on August 30, in Barcelona, Spain. Wortman served on the Compton Police Department for many years, before retiring as a Lieutenant in the 1980's.

Percy Perrodin, a former Compton Police Officer, remembers Wortman as a good natured, but demanding officer. "He was an easygoing, comical and personable. He was a good natured person, but believed in doing things the right way. If you submitted a report that he didn't feel was accurate, he wouldn't hesitate to hand it back to you to do over."

"He always said, if you're going to do something, do it right," Perrodin recalled.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date. The body was cremated in Spain. He is survived by four sons, Richard Miller of Greenwood, Ronald and Donald of California, and Steven Wortman of Nevada; three sisters, Sherry Soltis of Tampa, Fla., Mary Paden of Alabama, and Terri Decker-Zizzo of California; a brother, Larry Wortman of Nevada; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Last day to book the Hotel is Wednesday, September 28th. The Las Vegas Hilton’s phone is 1-800-732-7117. If you need a room, be sure to get it booked before time runs out.

To those of you who have already responded with your confirmation to attend the reunion, thanks so much and you can ignore the rest of this message. This is for those who may not be aware of the reunion or who are sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to attend (or perhaps trying to see if you can get the time off to attend or have the financial means to do so).
This years reunion will be Oct, 28-30th at the Las Vegas Hilton. CPR fee (covers food & misc.) will be $85 per person. The hotel is giving us a rate of $125 a night, but you must indicate you are with CPD to get that rate. The CPR fee of $85 should be sent to me (Betty Borowski) and made payable to me (I promise not to run away with the loot).
Check our website at www.1087comptonpolice.com to get all the details.
PLEASE . . . PLEASE . . . PLEASE . . . even though you may not be attending this year, please notify anyone you know who would be interested and may not be “on-line” with the computer thing. Give all a chance to attend. You are free to give my name, phone number (714 926-7615 cell or home 714 995-4433) in the event anyone needs additional info concerning the event. (I know you will be careful with those numbers.)
Time is short and we are up against the clock in making the final arrangements. If you intend on coming to the reunion, please let me know. If you will not be coming, it would be nice to know that too so I won’t bug you again.
We chose a week-end to accommodate those who couldn’t get off work during the week. Now, no excuses for those folks.
Hope to see you there. Remember, what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas (or so the ads say).
I can send a flyer to anyone who may need a ‘snail-mail’ kind of thing.
Your humble webmistress,
Betty Marlow-Borowski
