...to the above entry ...your reflection is touching and i am greatful that Glen's life has touched yours ...know that there is a reason to wake everyday ...sometimes we just have to push a little harder ...i am glad that you are finding renewed strength and reason ...Glen was a type of take charge man ...he was a believer that his story was his alone to write ...and though i cannot speak for him ...in his own humble way he would be honored that his story has made a difference in your life ...his life and death have changed us forever ...and he will NEVER be forgotten ...god bless

It's been almost a year since your death but I think about it all the time. I will NEVER forget. I haven't written until now because nothing I write can properly convey my feelings. I am writing at this time because I can no longer keep my feelings inside. Recent events have made me question my purpose in life and have made it seem like things were spinning out of control. During this difficult time I looked to your example as an outstanding officer and the strength displayed by your family. This has pulled me from the depths of depression and has helped me cope with the horrible things that we see everyday. I want you and your family to know that your memory has saved my life and has given me the strength to go on. Thank You.

God bless you and your family. I read these reflections and although I never met you or your family, I can feel the pain and suffering. I hope in my life time I can touch so many, and that I will leave such a lasting mark as you have done. You are a hero, and you family for all the pain that they have been through are as well. God speed Officer Gaspar and forever know that you will never be forgotten for you are thought about by your loved ones, and others like myself everyday.

There is nothing I could write here that would even attempt to do Glen the justice he deserves. Glen was my classmate, my brother officer, and my friend. I will miss him. He died protecting those innocent bystanders that were in the ice cream store that day: The suspects little girl, his girl friend, and several others. Having been shot three times in the chest he held onto the suspect so he could not hurt anyone else. A video tape during the shooting clearly showed that the suspect knew Glen was a police officer, yet the jury convicted him of the lesser murder in the second degree. With Hawaii’s screwed up penal system this man (he does not deserve to be named here) will no doubt be free someday. Glens family and those of us who loved him will never be free.

...it is over ...after 4 long days of deliberating the jury has returned a verdict ...it is not the 1st degree conviction we had hoped for ...many are angry and disappointed ...at the same time ...there is a sense of relief ...that now you can truly rest ...now we know that your killer will pay ...we will continue to fight for better laws and greater consequences for those who take the lives of law enforcement officers ...but for now g ...rest knowing there is justice ...justice for your name ...justice for your life ...in the last few weeks we have been forced to recount your last moments over and over again ...as we await sentencing ...we will call upon memories of better times ...times when you were here with us ...full of life ...full of love ...we will tell your story ...the person you were ...the impact on our lives ...and the promise and committment with which you followed your calling ...the reality that we will never have you back is heartbreaking ...the love and memories you left each of us comforting ...you will always be with us ...never forgotten ...forever loved ...i miss you g

Hi Daddy...
I really miss you...I am having a hard time without you!! The days feel boring and sad without you!! I miss seeing Aunty Liz, Ryann, Chad, Granny, and Granddad as much as we used to with you... I was thinking about you all day because we were christmas shopping and i saw this thing that said..."For your special dad.." I almost broke down crying.. i didnt know what to do!! And during soccer season i had a hard time too.. Because everyone and their families were there and when we came in for half time or from a quarter all the girls dads were there but mine...Why did you have to go? I miss you daddy!! I hate him!! I hate your killer!! I cant belive he did this... I guess he doesnt realize what he did.... He took someones father away from them... And he risked peoples lives, even his own daughter!!! I cant believe this.. I dont know how im going to live without you.. I guess i just have to take it one day at a time. We are in the middle of diliberation and it is very hard.... It has been a week already in diliberation and it will continue on monday... Well i love you with all my heart!! Talk to you later and hope to see you soon...

I found out about this Memorial section just recently. Thank you brother Glen for your ultimate sacrifice. To Glen's Daughters, I pray that time and fond memories will help to heal the wounds of your loss. Always be proud of your Father. I've never met him personnaly, but passed him in the Halls at the Main Station several times when I was in HPD (1997-1999). He always appeared happy and proud of his chosen profession. When I think about the incident, I always recall HPD's Mission Statement. Although I am no longer with the Department, I know the statement by heart, and I still carry the Mission Statement in my heart with pride as I perform my duties at the Harbor Police. Your Father carried out his duties exactly as described by HPD's Mission Statement. My wife(current HPD Officer) Yvonne and I wish the GASPAR girls and Ohana a very warm and Happy Holiday Season. We pray for all of you. Take care, be safe and God Bless! Aloha!

I'm visiting with you again, because I promised never to forget. I guess it's about 3 weeks to Thanksgiving, the first we'll have without you. But this note comes early, because you're the first person I wanted to thank. Glen, thank you, from all of us, who miss having you with us. There's so much to say, that was not said, when it should have been said.

You left us 4 days after my son started at the academy. Today, he's patrolling the streets, a new generation. I told him about you, because it's important to see those beyond your immediate family, whose sacrifices should always be remembered, whose memory should be cherished, whose names should be honored, always.
