Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Gilner,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC as a member of the 2nd CEB of the 2nd Marine Division. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Stephen, yesterday (1/4/17) your nephew followed your foot steps. He had his first day in the academy for NYPD. I pray as he follows your footsteps you keep watch over him and keep him safe. We love and miss you terribly. Until the day we meet again. xo your sister in law xo

Steve and I were stationed together at Camp Lejeune (2nd Combat Engineers) and he took over for me as the Records Clerk. He was a phenomenal man and great friend! On a 96 weekend he let me use his Honda Magna to go home (VA) and he was like "Be safe but if you brake it you bought it!" Not too many Marines, let alone people, would be so giving with their personal property! I heard of his death on a history channel segment regarding body armor, of all places. I will always remember the Marine, the man I am proud to call my friend! RIP Stephen - Semper Fi!

Just thinking about you. Still can't beleive you are gone. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I guess God had his reasons. I know that you are up in heaven guarding those gates. Just like the good Marine you were. I miss you brother.

For The Fallen - Laurence Binyon

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

For the last 13 years I have struggled to heed the words of Shakespeare:
"Your cause of sorrow
Must not be measur'd by his worth, for then
It hath no end." Macbeth Act. V Sc.7
Maybe next year it will be better...RDMH

It's just been so hard to believe so much time has passed. Right before this horrible incident happened Steve had called me to tell me he had a video of a chase he was in and I had worked the radio. He was going to leave it on his desk for me to pick up when I returned from a trip. Then the unthinkable happened. I could never bring myself to go to the pct to pick it up, now I wish I had. He was a man that loved his job, but loved his family more. He would always show pictures of his family and carried a picture in his left pocket so they would be close to his heart. Steve, you may be gone but are never forgotten.

I went to the same High School as Stephen, although I graduated a few years earlier. Stephen was my parents news delivery carrier.

Stephen has not been forgotten by his town, there is a memorial dedicated to him in a local park. He will never be forgotten by his brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement.

As he stood before the pearly gates of heaven, he received the welcome words "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord".

Rest in peace my brother.

I was just sitting here thinking about the classes we took together and the great conversations we had, one Yankee to another. God Bless and rest in peace.
