My Dear Sweet Laura.... My Heart is Broken... There are no words of comfort... No Medicine for this kind of Pain... No Child should go before
their Parent... Though, too many do.. My Dad Use to say, only the Good Die Young.. The longer i live life, the more I see... The truer those words
become.... There is No one in this World who knows a Child More than
Their Mom... And Laura, you're an Amazing Mother, Woman and Friend... You Knew Rob better than Anyone.. You Hold His Truth, Believe Your Heart, that's the only Place Where Truth Is Kept... I Knew Rob and His Heart.. No matter what Was Printed or Announced on the news... Know, that Rob was a Fighter and Believed in standing up and Fighting for The Truth... And one Sweet Day, all the Voices of Doubt, the MisInformation, The UnTruths, will be silenced and His Name
Will Shine so Bright.. Not Just for all of us Who Loved and Knew him but for all those who weren't Blessed to have had their Path Cross Your Amazing Sons Path in this Life.. They Will Know The Truth as We Do.. And Rob will Rest in Peace.. Laura, if You need me, I'm Here, Always.. For Robs Beautiful Beloved Babies, His Spirit Lives Inside of Them.. He will be by their side Protecting them, till they see him again.. I'm so sorry for the Rest of Robs Family's loss.. I only know The last Conversation I had With Rob, and I will never forget his Words of Truth... And Knowledge.. He was A Hero an Amazing HERO.. I Love You Robbie.. I will be forever Grateful for knowing You the Real You!

Dear Grant family, I'm just a LP county citizen. My heart breaks for your loss, and that Mr. Grant felt this was the only way out of his situation. I read the article about all his accomplishments in the police force. He sounds like a wonderful man and a terrific cop--who just lost his way. As someone who has struggled mightily to get appropriate medical care for my family, and as someone who has witnessed terrible medical care at the hands of workman's compensation physicians, I hope there is a way for you to make something positive come out of this tragedy.

To all of Officer Robs family, I am so incredibly sorry for your tragic loss. I hope work places change the way they handle things when an employee has a problem. People make mistakes. All of us. Rehab was the answer not prison and termination. Its a medical problem alot of people face. Even cops. Im just so sorry your going through this and i hope they change the way they do things after this. You all have my deepest condolences and may he rest in peace in gods arms. He was a beautiful soul from what i hear. I did not know him personally.

Officer Grant, first of all rest in peace. I want to send condolences to all of your family members, especially your girls & wife. Secondly, I wish I could've got to know you more, from what I've heard and read, you were a rock star of a guy and K-9 officer, I bet Henry will be lost without you. Thirdly and final, I will meet you someday, please save me a seat in the best party place in the universe!!!
Here are 4 quotes I save for sad things like this for you, your family and others to enjoy and save for themselves if wanted...

#1) I AM A WARRIOR


I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.


#2) The police officer stood and faced his Maker, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining brightly as his brass. β€œStep forward now, police officer how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To your Maker, have you been true?” The police officer, with squared shoulders, said β€œNo sir, I guess I ain’t. Because those of us who carry badges can’t always be a saint. I’ve had to work most Sunday’s 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 just got too steep. And I never passed by a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear, and sometimes, please forgive me, I’ve wept unmanly tears. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fears. But if you have a place for me here, well…it need not be too grand. I never expected or had too much so if you don’t…I’ll understand.” There was silence all around the room where the saints respectfully stood. As the police officer waited quietly for the judgment…bad or good. β€œStep forward now, police officer, you’ve borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven’s streets, You’ve done your time in hell.”


#3) Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.



#4) When God Made Police Officers
When the Lord was creating Police Officers, He was into his
sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said,
"You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, "Have you read the requirements on this
order? A Police Officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark,
scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle their uniform."
"They have to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout,
cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day."
"They have to be in top physical condition at all times,
running on black coffee and half-eaten meals, and they have to have six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands . . . no way!!"
"It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord,
"it's the three pairs of eyes an officer has to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before they ask, 'May I see what's in there, sir?'"
(when they already know and wish they'd taken that accounting job)
"Another pair here in the side of their head for their partner's safety,
and another pair of eyes here in front so they can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say,
'You'll be alright, ma'am,' when they know it isn't so."
"Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow."
"I can't," said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car
without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck."
The angel circled the model of the Police Officer very slowly. "Can it think?" she asked.
"You bet," said the Lord, "it can tell you the elements of a hundred crimes,
recite Miranda warnings in its sleep, detain, investigate, search,
and arrest a gang member on the street in less time than it
takes five learned judges to debate the legality of the stop . . .
and still it keeps its sense of humor. This officer also has phenomenal personal control.
They can deal with crime scenes painted in hell, coax a confession from a child abuser,
comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper
how law enforcement isn't sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Police Officer.
"There's a leak," she pronounced, "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."
"What's the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment
to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag, for justice."
"You're a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there," He said.

I truly believe God understands each of us and has a special place in heaven for men like Rob. May God provide strength, peace and comfort to all of you and the eternal gratitude of countless others.

I remember when Rob started on the department and rode with my brother Greg. When their shift was in my neighborhood they would stop by and grab a pop out of the garage fridge on the way out. He was so appreciative and was always a pleasure to visit with. He was a great guy. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Until we meet again my friend.... And Shepherds we shall be For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.

Lori,
We are so saddened by Rob's death! We cherished Rob as we do our own sons who saw compassion in their lives by giving to family and community. We loved reading of his accomplishments on the MC Police Force & his "Special Friends".
Our memories go back to his visits as a youngster to Uncle Ed's & Aunt Pat's getaway at Hudson Lake. He enlightened each visit that he made with exuberance & lively conversation. Our prayers are with you and his lovely wife and daughters; and also with your family Lori! Peace be with you!

I can't process what I am feeling and I had not even been physically around in Rob's life for many years. That is how important he is! We were introduced to each other at a young age by our mothers and although we had not hung out in many years he was always happy to see me when our paths crossed. I know that if I am brokenhearted about this I can't imagine what his family and closest friends are going through. I can't think about him without welling up and for that I am actually grateful, because this proves the impact that he had on my life. I wish the best for the members of his family, extended or otherwise.
