To your Family Deputy Williams

I cannot explain to you why GOD chose to take your husband/father. Only GOD knows. Please know that your husband is part of GODS plan. I am praying for you and know that you can do it. Every night I leave for work I know that GOD has me in his hands and if he chooses I will be with him soon. I am a husband and father of four great children and my heart goes out to you.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.

You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life, for your fellow man while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.

To the family of Deputy Sheriff Bruce M. Williams and the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieves with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this most difficult time.

To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Please pray for this officer's family and friends as they struggle with this tragedy.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.

Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. Rest in peace with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters. We will continue the fight in your honor.

Dear Sheriff Mike Handel and the members of the Green Lake County Sheriff's Department:


While words will never be able to fully convey my thoughts and wishes, I want to take a moment and extend to you and your staff my most heartfelt condolences in this time of grief and shock. Words such as senseless, unbelievable and tragic come to mind in a time like this, but fall far short of the true impact and meaning of Bruce's death. May you find comfort in the memories of Bruce and his diligent work and service to Green Lake County and its residents, and may you also find comfort in knowing Bruce died in the manner in which he served - with dignity and in service to his friends and neighbors.

While I did not have much contact with Bruce in my previous job in the news media, I always found him to be the epitome of professionalism, and that is truly the most we can ask from anyone who puts their life on the line each day to protect and serve. May God grant all of you at the sheriff's department, and Bruce's family, peace and comfort during these heart-wrenching times. My thoughts are with you. If there is anything I personally can do, or the city of Ripon can do, please contact me.

Aaron Kramer
Mayor, City of Ripon, Your Neighbor to the East
