Curt DuPuis was only 2½ years old when his father shot and killed in the line of duty as a Los Angeles police officer on Oct. 17, 1966.
He doesn't recall much about his dad, Keith Gregory DuPuis, but a few memories remain from the funeral. There was a casket with an American flag in the church. Outside, a sea of police officers lined the streets. The next day, a picture in the newspaper showed DuPuis being held by his uncle outside the church.
