Patrolman Grindell, it has now been 53 years since your tragic death. What became of the person you were arresting is not available, but if he is still alive, I hope his actions and their consequences haunt him every day. I also hope he reformed and became a better person, but only God truly knows the answer to that.

I pray your family is well, and I pray that you continue to rest in peace, Brother and I know in my heart that God has blessed you.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 48th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

Patrolman Grindell, on this 42nd anniversary of your tragic death, I want to say that your service to the people of Harwich and the Cape in general has not been forgotten. Domestic situations can bring about danger in all forms and you paid the ultimate price for your efforts. You are a hero, but I only know of how you died, those who know how you lived are the ones who truly know what a hero you were.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace.
