Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We were visiting the DC area this weekend and stopped to see your name on the wall at Judiciary Square on Saturday, the anniversary of your death. We made a rubbing of your name for our house because you are in our nightly prayers and one for Kenny. It was heartbreaking to see your laminated photo under your name. You are missed by so many. We are thinking of your many friends, family and loved ones...you are not alone.

Greg,

In your honor:

I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.

My Dearest Greg,

Today, two years after you were taken from us, I still find it difficult to believe you are actually gone. I miss you every moment of every day and would give anything to have you back.

I love you with all my heart ~ Always,
Paula

Greg - You were taken from us 2 years ago today and things have not and will never be the same without your presence and friendship. You are an inspiration to all who strive to be their best in law enforcement. You are thought of daily and I pray for your family. I miss you very much my dear friend. JD

My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this second anniversary of your EOW. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten.

It has been two years since SSA Rahoi left us. I know no one has forgotten him. I see and hear the loss in the eyes and voice of his fiancee. Pray for comfort and peace for her and for his family and friends, who still--two years later--feel as if they will never recover.

I can't believe it's 2 years on Sunday. I hope to be in Milwaukee at Christmas. I'll stop by and give you a visit. Wishing the best to your mom, dad and sister.

Hey buddy,

Sorry, I missed your birthday (again!). To make up for it I'll buy ya a Diet Coke at the Pearly Gate Bar in about 58 years!!!

Since I've been married I've slowed down a lot. Went out for the last pre-season Packer game with Irvin, Zyniecki, Preston and Lynn, Brad and Liza and the kids and a bunch of other people and it took a couple of days to recover. That's why I'm two days off.

I hafta give your parents a call soon. Haven't talked to them in awhile. Paula and Magolan too. Miss you a ton and totally wish you were still here.

Later,

Humper

My Dearest Greg,

Today we would have celebrated your 40th birthday. I started thinking about what we would do this weekend well over two years ago. I never imagined that you wouldn’t be here to celebrate. You were my entire world and I would give anything if I could just have one more moment with you. I miss you so much and think of you every minute of every day.

Happy Birthday darling,
I love you with all my heart (to infinity and beyond),

Paula,
I wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts often. Greg loved you with his whole heart and talk about you all the time. I miss him every day. I remember the day that we met on a Saturday for Greg to practice his IV skills, Seeing you two together and seeing the love that Greg found in you made me smile. Everytime I speak to Tony I also ask him about you. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need anything. Just remember you were loved so much by Greg.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Greg,

I visit this site with some regularity but I have been remiss in leaving a thought, however I'd like you to know a few things. I carry your memorial card with me every day and I'll be laminating it soon to put in my helmet. I'll take you along with me as I go crawling down some superheated, pitch black hallway like we used to do back in the day. I'm going to keep you close to my head to help me make good decisions. FYI: I would have taken more of the cards at your memorial service but the place was crawling with cops! I will have to keep the one I have in pristine shape.
