Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was fortunate to have worked with Greg for a number of years while an officer with the Town of Madison Police Dept. Although not the same dept., we shared boundries, calls, citizens, and missions, and I was always glad when I saw it was Greg arriving to help my partners and I out on calls or out of tough spots. Even though we both moved on in our careers Greg never was, nor ever will be forgotten.

I knew Greg when he was a new officer at Madison PD. He was a very thoughtful person and a good friend. It was obvious to anyone who spent five minutes with him that he would be successful in whatever he did. My thoughts and prayers go out to Greg's family and fiancee. He was a good person and will truly be missed.

Reality

Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.

No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.

Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!

Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.

Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.

More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!

Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.

Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.

All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.

So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…

To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

I was Greg's classmate in the 1994 Madison Police Department Academy. Not only did I get to know Greg as a classmate and co-worker, but as a friend. Greg was very dedicated to the law enforcement profession, but even more devoted to those who were close to him. I lost touch with Greg over the last few years, but his passing has left a void in my life. Greg will be greatly missed by those who knew him and whose lives he touched. You will not be forgotten.

I had the privilege of meeting several members of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team recently while attending the NA, and to a man I found them to be among the most professional, dedicated, and exemplary law enforcement professionals I have ever met. I know that this loss will affect them profoundly, and I offer my sincerest condolences to the HRT, the entire FBI, and to SSA Rahoi's family and friends.

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people.

Amen

Godspeed

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and his other co-workers of the passing of a son, friend, and outstanding cop. He participated with me in the WI Special Olympics Torch Run (running several legs as he easily did) He kept a sense of humor, eager to do whatever he needed to do to be successful. You are missed Pal. JIM

Greg was in my academy class at the Madison Police Department. I remember him as being extremely dedicated, friendly, and always more than willing to help others. The last time I saw Greg was about 6 years ago at the Wisconsin Special Olympics, which he had taken time off work for to travel home and volunteer at. That says alot about the type of person he was. My prayers are with his family and fellow law enforcement officers during this time.
