Thanks for putting this on your site....We at Gang Investigations and his family appreciate it!!!!!!
Can someone post a paypal link or an address to send a check? Whenever I see something like this, I send a donation, but can't if there's no info given.
Non Cpd, but thank you to all in blue.
Hey Greg Mighty nice of you to give your time and talent to the benefit with the recording
R.I.P. God Bless the family. Haven't heard anything in district yet. Is there a bank set up to receive donations for family?
Am a North sider I can't make benefit, but I have 2 little ones and there by the grace of god go I.
Happy to donate if know where.
Worked with Mike for a few years. Ask anyone- all he cared about in life was his daughters and their well being. He worked around the clock to help pay for his daughter's special foods. He went from work to a side job and back again. How does a family go from getting that police pay check and side job money to hardly none at all- especially with a special needs daughter. If there was ever a benefit to attend, this is one of them. If you can't make it please by a raffle ticket or two. Please contact Unit 193 @ 312-746-7901 for ticket info.
RIP Mike
