Chief German was many things to many people. To me he was a brother in blue, a man whom I felt and cared for as if we were biological brothers, but most of all my friend. I will forever reflect on our time together and our conversations….Thank You!! RIP My Brother!!! We have the Watch from Here and assure you Your Family will be Protected! See you on the other side My Brother!

Chief German was a "Cop's cop". When he was a Police Officer with the Tama Police Department, we worked together and I always knew that he had my "6". His laugh and smile made any bad shifts better. I'll always remember his lunchbox with his Lunchables. I could never get him to sit down and eat at a restaurant no matter how hard I tried. Rest well Chief.
