Gregory Lindmark

Sheryl and family; Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Bernard Huber Family.

I feel so lucky to have known him. Over the months that it took to build the Roscoe house we developed a great friendship that I have always been proud of. He loved his family so much. We had great fun with the ongoing Corvette/Porshe debate. I still have his last phone message where he was calling just to check in to see that all was well. Peace to you my dear friend. I will always remember you.

Please know that I care.

Sheryl

So sorry for your loss. We will keep you and family in our prayers.

Sheryl and family,
Todd and I send our deepest condolences. Praying that God grant you courage,strength and serenity in the days ahead. With much Love, Todd and Lisa

Thank you for wearing the badge and serving your community. I'm truly sorry that I never met you. All my respect from the friend of a friend.

I met Chief Lindmark when I was a rookie cops reporter for the Register Star and had no idea what I was doing. He hooked me up with a press pass to the public safety building and showed me the ropes. I felt better to see his familiar face at chaotic crime scenes. He was patient and open when he didn't have to be. He let me sit with him at his desk. He'll never know how grateful I was -- and still am -- for that.

I met Greg when he was a sergeant in charge of the gang unit in Rockford and he was a deputy chief by the time I left for the Iowa Statehouse. He and I didn't always see eye-to-eye on things (most cops and reporters don't, I suspect), but he was certainly a good person, loyal to his officers and an asset to a community that's still trying to find its footing. He had a big heart and that can be a hard thing to have.
