My Dad Officer Paul Regis Conroy Sr worked at SCI Pittsburgh for 25 years. 1958 to 1983. Officer Grogans was a great friend of my Dad’s. He was a true hero. He saved another Officer life that horrible day. These Officers put there lives on line every day to keep our community safe. They are all Heroes!

Family dinner, you're not there
We all look at the empty chair
Lif'e not fair we wonder why
Why did a good man have to die
They say the good die young, it seems to me
That's not the way that it shoul be

You are remembered for your heroism and ultimate sacrifice in providing aid to a fellow Officer. 43 years and you are still not forgotten. Rest in peace, sir, we have the watch now.

The Correctional Officers Prayer

Lord, I ask for courage...
Courage to face and conquer my own fears.
Courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength...
Strength of body to protect others.
Strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication...
Dedication to my job, to do well.
Dedication to my community, to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern for all those who trust me.
and compassion for those who need me.

And, please Lord, through it all
watch over me and keep me true.

Officer Grogan, you gave your life for your brother without any thought. Your actions are an inspiration and will always be remembered. I visit this website everyday to remind myself of the dangers we all face. I care for all my brothers and sisters in blue and admire those who sacrifice themselves to help others. I could say many other things about bravery and courage, but you sir, have already said it all. Rest in peace brother....keep watch over us as we continue where you left off. Thank you and God bless you.
