Sorry about your loss. I will always remember Chief Gelinas as a wonderful, kind and thoughtful man. The town lost a great Chief when he retired from the force. He was a great boss and also introduced me to my husband 23 years ago.

Paul & Elizabeth-I was saddened to hear that the Chief passed. I grew up in that town. Elizabeth, you once babysat me, Paul you helped my dad build part of our house, and the Chief was a part of my life too. He did so much for so many. I could always count on him to be-well, everything. Any situation I was in, good or bad, he was there. He was always firm but fair with me. I think of him often, he's what a police chief should be. Please accept my condolences and I pray that your family finds...
