Geoff,

I can't believe its already almost been one year that your gone now. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I always hope that one day coming back from a fire call you will be at the firehouse waiting for us. The firehouse is not the same without you. Love you brother

Geoff,

Not a day goes by that I dont think about you. I can't tell you how many times I go on a call at the firehouse I hope you show up. You may not have known, but you were a great mentor. I just wish I could be half the man you were! Till we meet again brother. Rest easy brother we got it from here!

As you've looked over us unselfishly and with courage, honor and integrity, we can only look on with awe, admiration and a sense of knowing that our small part of the world was a safer, less scary place, because of you.
What is a hero? The ones that don't even realize it, they just go and "do their jobs", without question, whether sick,tired, busy at home, or.. OFF-DUTY!!! Thank you Officer Breitkopf, and Thank you to your family. Thoughts and Prayers from Northern California.

When we reach our final resting place, there is a headstone that reads our birth date a dash and our date of death. That little insignificant character is what defines you. It is what you do with your dash that makes the person. Geoff filled his dash with, laughter, kindness, honor, courage and love.

But most of all, I will miss my friend. Geoff, you were so important to me. I will never forget all the great times we had together. We experienced so much together, good and bad, but both came out the other side better people and closer friends.

I will miss everything about you.

It has been 2 months since that night. Just wanted to let you know we still think about you bro, remembering the nights on patrol, pursuits into the city and your unique laugh just to naem a few. You were always so positive and full of energy. Miss seeing you in that halls in Bellmore.

We will never forget you! RIP my friend.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Breitkopf. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Geoffrey, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Geoffrey's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Geoffrey's life was about so much more than the way he died. Geoffrey will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Breitkopf, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

FAREWELL MY FRIEND

It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then
you never die.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
You will be forever missed by your family, friends, Selden FD and Nassau PD.
