To the family, friends and co-workers my prayers are with you. I wish there was something that I could say that would help you through this difficult time, but as everyone knows there isn't anything. The one thing that helped me through was knowing that Clint loved being a police officer and would not have traded places with anyone.
Officer Grim your family will miss you everyday, but we will never forget you. Look Clint up for me tell him that we sure miss him.

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.
To the family and friends of Officer Robert F.(Bob)Grim and the Ormond Beach Police Department, 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.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice for your fellow man, your life.
While serving, defending, and protecting others in your community and state.
Rest easy with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters, we have the watch now.
To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost and their families. 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, agency, 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. We continue the fight in your honor.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

I was saddened to see another officer slain by a drunk driver. I hope the prosecuting attorney is brave enough to file the proper criminal charges in lieu of traffic charges. You will not be forgotten for all your years of service. Rest in peace sir.

To the family of Officer Grim;
I am truly, truly sorry for your loss. I understand how hurtful it is to lose someone by the hand of an intoxicated driver; My dad was 48 years old and was killed in a very similar manner while he was changing a tire for someone on the side of the road. Please accept my prayers and condolensces. I pray that God comforts you with the memories of love you shared with your officer.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
