What a horrible loss. My husband does an extra job doing traffic. I never thought twice about his safety doing it. I thought only of crazed gunman and such. My thoughts are with this man's family.

I hear people complain about drunk driving laws all the time.  Even my friends and family say cops should focus on something more important.  These same people are quick to bad mouth the police when some drunk hurts or kills someone they know.       I will pray for your family Ofc Gryder.  See you in Heaven.

I would like to say from the time I met Gary I knew he was a wonderful man. Gary and I had several conversations from time to time and they always consisted of his wife and son and the fun they had together. Im going to miss his jokes and wonderful personility. I truly feel I am a better for knowing him. I will greatly miss him.

I'm speechless. Gary was one of the best men my son and I knew. He coached Drew in baseball several years ago and is the one coach my son looked up to more than anyone. He was SO good with kids, and had SUCH a love for his family. Gary, you will be SO missed. We love you and our prayers are with your wife and son as they deal with this tragedy.
