Spike Bell is one of Windsor's finest photographers. I met him many years ago when my wife and I first moved to Windsor. He was one of a number of artists who displayed their work at several functions that we sponsored for artists around the City.
The WPD asked him to photograph the funeral of PC Atkinson especially at Heavenly Rest cemetery. He sent me several of the photos from the funeral procession along College Ave. The one photo that "got him" is the one with John Atkinson's little girl Nicole age 7 touching her dad's casket for the last time.
"This picture," Spike said, "is a beautiful tribute to a fine officer and a good family man."

I thank him for allowing me to post it here!
