Another small part of me died today when I learned of the loss of another brother officer. This one pains me more than most because my high school friend, Ofc. Craig William Rath (EOW 05-27-99), has already paid the ultimate price for your community. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and fellow officers who were blessed by brother Buro's time with us.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

Gary always made us laugh. He always said he was going to be a cop. At least he passed away doing what he loved. Although, I have not spoken to Gary in years I am deeply saddened for this loss and will be thinking and praying for his family during this time.

I did not know Officer Buro, but all I have heard of him tells what a honorable and dedicated man he was. Every time I hear of the death of a police office, military person, fireman, and others that put their lives on the line to protect us, my hearts breaks. To the family of Officer Buro, Chesterfield PD, and all those that dedicate themselves to protect the rest of us, thank you for the sacrifice! Please know that you are appreciated and there are multitudes praying for you daily. For Officer Buro: To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of The Lord. Thank you sir for all that you have done for others!

Sad news to hear about Gary. I have just entered this "brotherhood" with USCP and it's amazing to read all the reflections for him. Amazing love out there, but still hard to hear about you being gone. My thoughts and prayers were with you when I heard and will be till I leave this brotherhood. God Bless, Gary.
