Reflections for Detective Todd C. Gillerlain

I met Todd, through his cousin, John. I knew immediately, Todd, was a stand up kind of guy and a good copper.

Todd and I shared emails and texts over the years. Todd was excited about my retirement from “the job.” He revealed his love for his brothers and sisters in blue, longing to retire to be with his wife, children and family.

Todd, was and is a good man, because “heroes never die.”

Regardless of where life takes us, there are those, who will always stand larger than life. Chicago Police Department Detective Todd C Gillerlain, is one of those who stand larger than life.

Blessings upon Todd’s family.
