25 years

I remember hearing about Gary’s death exactly 25 years ago. I did not know him at the time, but I’ve known him through the wonderful things people said about him. God bless you Gary.

Shocked
In Honor of Officer Gregory "John" Bailey
I didn’t know him and chances are that you didn’t know him either, but after I saw that, I will never forget it. What a stunning surprise! I never thought he would get killed. He was just doing his job! But that’s part of it I guess! his poor family must be heartbroken. I wish he would have just gone home. The whole thing is heartbreaking. My sincere condolences to whoever cared about him and loved him.!

Native American Friend!
In Honor of Officer Dennis C. Doty
Dennis its been many ‘Moons’(1980) since I saw & talked to you my friend. When I visited from Phoenix and you showed up at my house on a suspected burglary call, We just reminisced about life, friends, school..We had a great visit! Than in 1982 I unfortunately read in the Phoenix Gazette about You & Philip Trust! My Heart crumbled, couldn’t believe it..You have been ‘walking your Eternal Path’ with Creator for 44 yrs now, You are by His side, but we miss your physical being on ‘Mother Earth’. God Bless My Friend 🙏

In Honor of Officer Martin L. Ganz
3/26/26 my x-wife asked me today if I remembered Martin ganz from GGHS I did not as I was in class of 80 and dropped out in 1979 so I vaguely remember an officer being shot and killed with his young nephew in the police vehicle for a ride along, but at the time I do not remember any statement about him graduating GGHS so I red the articles as my X-Wife stated to me do I remember him and didn’t and wish I did and wished I would of had half his courage and drive to pursue a law inforcment career it was an awful thing that happened to him and seemed to have been a great person in many ways with all he was involved with also a motorcycle officer as I rode for years and always enjoyed it he seems to have been a very special human being and what a tragedy being taken so young god bless him and his family and everyone involved in his life, and all whom have supported his remaining family, reading articles I could find about him and his life make me wish I actually new him while in same highschool I have lived in garden grove for 52 years and a home owner and Father in-law was an Orange County Sheriff and have so much respect for law enforcement and so to read all the articles I have read about him he will never be forgotten by me and seems it is the same for 1,000s of others RIP my brother.
