CPT TONY WINBORN,
My third great-grandmother, FRANCES GRUBBS EDWARDS was Wiley Grubbs sister, making Joe, her nephew. I stumbled upon my family history, in Monticello, where Joe Grubbs is buried, in a cemetery filled with my ancestors. I had no idea, as I always believed them to be from south Georgia. How humbling to know, the area I was always drawn to, was where they were from. It made me interested in Mr. Grubbs, and I was further stunned, to find out he was a relative. Nice to meet you, cousin! Be safe out there. There are too many names of fine officers in this memorial, already.

I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I never knew about this event in my research of our office. Im glad to know that someone found this information and posted it for all to see. A hero should be honored for his/her efforts in protecting the citizens. Hopefully Joe Grubbs will not be forgotten again.

Joe S. Grubbs was my great, great grandfather. I salute him for his service and dedication to duty. His father Wiley B. Grubbs was the Sheriff of Jasper County and died in office in 1879 of typhoid fever. I am proud to carry on the service and dedication to duty.
