Officer Grill, my wife and I have never forgotten the evening that you and your Partner Tom Herron escorted us to Children's Hospital when our son Matthew had a severe arterial bleed from an accident on his bicycle.
Who would have ever thought that many years later Matt and your own son Jim would become partners and good friends on that same Pittsburgh Police Force that you had served so nobly!
Thank You again Mr Grill, we will never forget you!

Its hard to believe it's been 25 years and on that day a part of me broke. I remember like it was today I never thought that my strong, invisible dad would ever leave me. I will always remember watching our favorite shows, eating chips and laughing with you. I know I am like you in so many ways, thank you for not giving up on any of us and making sure we stayed on the right path. It's because of you I am the person I am today. Love you forever,
Love Carol

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the tragic deaths of you and your partner, Officer Grill. Last Sunday marked the 24th anniversary of two men I knew and respected who died in the same manner, although in their case it was a tree with which they collided.

The loss felt by all who knew them was like a punch in the gut, a phrase all too often used, but true. In reading the posts by your family, I empathize with their pain. Though the loss of a friend is never the same as the loss of a father or grandfather, it's still painful and it's safe to say, you were a good man and a great Dad.

Thank you for your service, God Bless and may you continue to forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Hi Pap, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been visiting you a lot lately, at the memorial and the cemetery... I hope you notice. I saw the new headstone just the other night and I was overwhelmed. It's beautiful. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss you, and Gammy, and I hope you and her are having a hell of a time up there, waiting on the rest of us. I love you Pap...

Just stopping in to say Hi Pap. I was reading about the Poplawski trial, and I wanted to give you an update on the family. I moved home! But you already knew that. :-) And I am finally back to being part of the family again! Being so many miles away was hard. I was so tired of only visiting for a few days, it was just time to come home.

Ricky is getting HUGE. I'm thinking we might stop by and see you this weekend before we go to the fair. Pap, you would be so proud of my little man. He's such a good boy, and so loving. He even knows who you are in pictures. It makes me so proud!

I have to go now, I'm writing from work. But I love you bunches. Keep us safe Pap, I know you always do.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!
