I am not, nor have i ever been, one to be a good speaker
or writer. But i felt the need to share with my friends on
here who are current or former LEO's. I have the utmost
respect for you all. These folks put their lives on the line
every single day they go to work.
Back in the late 60's /early 1970's Greg Meagher was my Best Friend.
My Dad had just got stationed at USMC Air base in Beauford,
S.C. When you are a Marine kid you move a lot....
Greg and I became friends immediately after a fight on the playground and we were inseparable from that day on.
His family was a large Irish Catholic family of 8 and ours a smaller family of 5 who were Methodist. We lived two blocks away
on base housing (enlisted). Our families were close.
Greg and I were pumped once Summer break came.
Fishing, Hunting squirrels and rabbits, going Crabbing.
Playing football, baseball, or just running night Ops around
the base at night trying not to get caught by the MP's.
Every day was an adventure and every day fun.
Greg Meagher was a Sergeant in the Richmond Co.
Sheriffs Department ( Augusta, Georgia).
The father of 4 beautiful Girls.
There can be no Greater Love than sacrificing yourself to help another.
Greg Meagher was a Mountain of a Man.
Not just in physical size but in Heart as well.
I will miss my childhood friend.
He rests in Gods arms now.
Greg Meagher EOW 2/5/17....

Prayers for the family.
