Gregory Trindle Obituary

Gregory Carl Trindle

Nov 27,1949 - Apr 12, 2015

A native of Sacramento, Greg was a graduate of El Camino High School, American River College, and Sacramento State University. He moved to Redwood City in 1972 when he was hired by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. Over his thirty-six year career he worked in every corner of the county, spent nearly twenty years with the SWAT team and rose through the ranks to Asst. Sheriff.

Upon retiring in 2008, he enjoyed his new found leisure by traveling, fly fishing, hiking and playing with his five beautiful grandchildren Madison, Carissa and Daniston Carbullido and Alexis and Nicholas Mersch.

His two-month battle with pancreatic cancer was extremely short-lived but filled with stories, love and friendship, and vists and calls from family and friends both, old and new. It was a time to treasure, and he made the best of it, as he always did.

Besides his grandchildren, Greg is survived by his wife of 44 years, Cath, and his two daughters, Jessica (Scott) Carbullido of Portland, OR and Andi (Eric) Mersch of San Francisco.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the San Mateo County Parks Foundation or California State Parks Foundation.

Seeing Greg's smiling face this morning made my day. I'm glad there are still memories being posted.

As another year--one of the craziest of all crazy years I've lived--passes by since my dad died, I have been struggling with what I can possibly write to capture all that has gone on in my life, all that I wish I could talk over with him.

I have somehow come up with one significant and timely memory.

I remember my dad bailing my (innocent and subsequently fully exonerated) ex-husband out of jail on a felony assault of a police officer charge and picking me up from the SF jail early the next morning after we protested the Iraq war in a peaceful protest. That story is long, sad, and not the point here.

The point here is that my dad did these things for me without any expressed judgment or anger (thanks mom for certainly absorbing some "stress"). He picked me up, supported me and my ex and didn't ever yell or criticize.

He did this for me while serving as a distinguished, high level career police officer with the San Mateo County Sheriffs department.

He was my dad above all else. He had my back.

Why am I remembering this now amongst all of the things I wish I could talk to my dad about....

I went to my first protest since this time just this past weekend. I could expound on the why I protested on April 5 for hours; but again, it isn't the point here.

The point is this: that experience decades ago now was one of the very worst of my privileged life (the experience behind the false felony arrest is a violent, racially based one). I was hyperventilating even thinking about going to a "peaceful" protest again.

I went though. I went all alone too due to circumstances. Being there felt important and meaningful and I'm so glad I did.

I thought of my dad while standing there with my last minute prepared sign. I knew/know that, if my dad had not supported me so fully, with love leading beyond all else all those years ago, I may not have been able to overcome my fears and stand up against abhorrent administration.

But he did...and so I could.

Time to stop by this site and return a smile as I look at that huge Trindle smile. It always has been inspirational and conveys so much about the man wearing it. Another year, yet much to be grateful for; especially including Greg and how his legacies live on. I´m also grateful to all those who continue to share thoughts and feelings here, as they too would bring a smile to his face. Be well Trindle family, be well, happy and healthy...

As always, I still think about my beloved dad all the time and I'm reminded close to the anniversary of his passing to post a note for anyone else who might be thinking about him too.

I still miss him so much, though, as the years pass, I'm focused more on gratitude for all the time with him that I did have.

I wish he could see my kiddos growing up and that he was here to shape their values in the same way he shaped mine.

I'd love to surprise him with our newest family member--another example of "never say never" in life. That's a lesson I'd love to tell him I've finally learned.

Watching my kids and nieces run around on an Easter egg hunt this morning, I am reminded of Easter celebrations with my Dad over many years. From my childhood I remember dressing in pretty new spring colored dresses, coloring Easter eggs, eating loads of chocolate before breakfast, and searching the backyard for all the eggs the "Easter bunny" had hidden. We usually couldn't find at least a couple every year. My dad always participated in all of these events with smiles and hugs and I remember many with his parents watching over us too. So fortunately, I got a chance to watch him over a few Easter egg hunts with my daughter when she was little too. At least one, and I think maybe a couple, were actually here in Portland where we are today.

I still miss my dad all the time and especially on special occasions like these. With my mom, my dad created such a special childhood for me and my sister. Because of them our kids now have the same special experiences.

Just another note, another year, of missing my Dad. As the days go on with so many wonderful things and some very hard days, I so often just wish I could crawl into my dad's lap for a giant cuddle. I am grateful I know exactly what that feels like. I am a lucky one.

Andi Trindle Mersch

April 9, 2021

I still miss my dad so often. After hearing just last night about the sudden and tragic passing of a long time casual friend with her children not even grown yet,
I feel especially reminded of the loss, and I feel deep gratitude. I got to know my dad for almost 40 years. What a gift.
As the years go by (now 6 of them) and my children grow and I watch my husband father our children, I am reminded of my dad often. Having an attentive, playful, sporty, firm, loving dad is a life supporting gift. I still miss you. Mom, as dad would never doubt, is a glue and a teddy bear keeping my entire Trindle Mersch family going more than ever.

As I try to figure out why Greg has been on my mind so much since the first of the month, the significance of this week comes into focus. He is missed so very much, not because we were close. He is missed because of the legacy he crafted in his time here. I often think of his smile; so wide and happy, it reminds me of my own father's smile. His aura of peace and contentment when mentioning Cath. His aura of love and that smile again at the mention or thoughts of his family and grandkids. His quiet stories of good times. The way he reacted in the most serious of times at work. His candor. His caring demeanor. His look, peering over glasses at me, as I compose these thoughts. That other smile, the small one, the one that conveys a quiet message of more than acquiescence. These and many other things are his legacy. My thoughts are with you and your family Gregbe at peace and rest well. Your legacies live on as do our memories of you and the quiet strength you bring to others, even now.

What I remember most you about Greg was our bonding over science fiction books. I enjoy talking to him about the latest book he was reading or me telling him about fun book I found. I will miss those conversation.

The memory about Greg that I want to share is a very old one. He and Cath had been dating and wanted to get married. He came to our house in Fair Oaks to ask my dad for Caths hand in marriage. They were so young, but Greg was so serious about what he wanted. He came with his bank book in his hand, ready to show my dad that he had the where-with-all to support the two of them while he finished his degree at Sac State and then found a job as a policeman. I was so impressed with his quiet determination. And he did exactly what he said he was going to do!
One of the things I enjoyed about Greg was the great variety of his interests. He took his career seriously, but that just seemed to be one part of who he was. He enjoyed looking at and collecting art, he was always up on the news and went to lectures on different subjects, he and Cath went to plays all the time and it seems to me he had seen every movie ever made (he should have started his own video store!). And then there was the fishing not necessarily catching but lots of fishing! All this made him a fun person to converse with.

These are only a few of the experiences that I cherish as I think of Greg:
Greg and I did some camping together. Yes, I camped once. We drove to Fourth of July Lake and planned to stay overnight. When we got to the trail head, I knew I had made a mistake, the sign said Fourth of July Lake 3 miles! As I looked in the direction of the lake I noticed a ridge they called the Elephants Back. Yes, we (I) made it up the 2000 feet and down the 2000 feet to the lake. We set up camp and Greg brought out some fishing gear. We both fished the afternoon away. I was lucky enough to catch a medium size trout. We managed to clean and fry the little devil. That night I was worried about the fact that there might be bears, and they might come after the freshly caught fish. Greg, who had just started as an officer for San Mateo, said not to worry, he had brought his service revolver. I slept well and the next morning we went back over the Elephants Back to our car.
Cut to 40 years later, the reunion at Sun River, where Greg and I hired a fishing Guide to do some fly fishing. This time Greg caught 4 or 5 fish and I snagged 1 or 2. The guide had to keep an eye on me to teach me how to cast. Greg stayed in the back of the boat doing circular casting and some others that I cant remember. The trip was stopped short when I snapped my wrist and the hook managed to catch the guides shirt right shoulder. It was a pleasure to have gone on that fishing trip with Greg.
As you know I have done a lot of bike rides. So back, I think, in 1984, I talked Greg into doing the Tour de Garlic. I had a bicycle that had a triple gear. Gregs bike at the time only had a double. I would be in my third gear cranking up the hills and Greg would be right next to me, despite the extra work it took. That year we made it to the Pinnacles where there was a lunch stop. By the time we got there, the lunch wagon had left! We did get to say hi to Maura and Cath and all the kids. I think it was after that ride that I couldnt talk Greg into continuing our great bike ride adventures.
Over the years there have been times that I would stay with Greg and Cath because I had a meeting or conference in the Bay Area. Sometimes I would tag along with them to whatever activity they were doing. One of these times I got to go and see one of Gregs many promotions. I dont remember which it was, maybe Lieutenant to Captain or Captain to Commander. We went to the county offices and there was everyone in their dress Blues, all standing at attention. The top Dog then talked about how great Greg was and that he was chosen to get this promotion because of all the good work he had accomplished. I was very impressed with the whole ceremony. I am thankful that I got to see him awarded one of the badges that he earned. And if you get a chance to see the Chess Board that he made you will see he got a lot of promotions.

Everyone privileged enough to spend time with Greg saw him as a phenomenal husband, father, police officer, and human being. I can personally add brother-in-law to that list. Over the years, Cath and Greg opened their home not just to me but to my volleyball teams as well. They fed us, housed us, and cheered for us. When the girls were still at home, they invited me to hang out with them, Jessica, and Andi over many a holiday. Then, later, they even let me take over their guest room for an extended stay while I spent a season coaching the San Jose Storm in the Professional Volleyball League. The phenomenal brother-in-law assessment comes from my sense that Greg didn't just go along with all of this out of in-law obligation, rather opening his castle to me out of the kindness of his heart and genuine embrace of the whole concept of family. Thus, I will always remember Greg as the consummate family mangood-hearted, deeply caring, and fiercely loyal to his whole family, even the brothers-in-law.

Dan and I have had the great fortune to be part of the extended Trindle family for years, which has enriched our lives in so many ways. We have particated in numerous family events, from the traditional Christmas Tree cutting, dinners, Easter Egg hunts, Thanksgivings and more. One of our favorites was a weekend spent camping with Eric, Andi, Greg and Cath at Sardine Lake, when we took a hike up the mountain into the snow with Greg leading the way.

Dan and I just adored Greg, or "Andi's Dad", as we knew him. We will always miss his humor, his kindness, his warmth and generosity. And we will never forget him.

Greg was strong, independent, and cared deeply for his family. There weren't too many shades of gray for Greg--he saw things clearly, and always seemed to be moving in a positive direction. You don't encounter many people like that, and I miss getting his take on events and things.

I didn't know him before he became a deputy sheriff. He could appear gruff and judgmental, which suited his career, but I learned that, in dealings with his beloved family and friends, it was a big bluff. Greg would do anything for Cath or Jessica or Andi or his gaggle of grandchildren. The absence of Greg in his family's life must at times be unbearable.

No one knows why a good man like Greg has to go so early or quickly. I know that I cherish my many memories of Greg: the hikes, the travel and trips, his triumphant success at board games. He was my best friend, and I share the loss of his many family and friends.

Honor, Commitment, Dedication Greg Trindle was a giant of a man. Like the Redwoods that served as his companion on outdoor hikes, he was physically large. But, he drew his true strength from devotion to values. He served his family as a son, husband, and father. He served his country in the Army Guard. He served his neighbors and fellow citizens as a San Mateo County police officer for 26 years. In his early days as a police officer on patrol, he showed up at dinner each night to be with his wife and daughters. As his daughters grew, he showed both empathy and discipline toward them. Each daughter Jessica and Andrea relate stories of his dedication to spending time with them. And each has stories of his strict discipline that they agree was the best for them. My wife, Andi, specifically has fond memories of running around the track at Woodside and playing basketball with her Dad. And another of when he disciplined her by not taking her to Ice Castles (a decision she now understands!)

I met Greg when I started courting his daughter, Andrea, now Andi. He and I got along immediately. Early in our relationship, we invited Greg and Cath to a wine tasting at the Commonwealth Club in February 2009. Andi bubbled with excitement as she bounced from table to table tasting Anderson Valley wines. At one point, she ran up to Greg, Cath and I with a full wine glass and a small plate stacked high with crackers, cheese and grapes. Within seconds she dropped the plate. Greg leaned into me and jokingly said, shes your responsibility now!. And this turned true when we engaged and later married in February of 2011.

As his son-in-law, I enjoyed his company and we talked at length about his family and career. Later when Andi gave birth to Alexis in 2011, nine months to the day after our wedding, he lavished attention on her. Cath and Greg would watch Alexis on weekdays before she started pre-school. Greg loved to play with her in their backyard garden, which held a variety of gnome statues. Greg would constantly move the gnomes around so that Alexis would have to find them each time she visited. On one of these days, before Alexis arrived, Greg set up a chair in the backyard and positioned the gnomes around it as though they were holding a conference. He laughed when he told the story of how Alexis, stepping out of the car, confronted this strange event and approached him ever so cautiously.

I was constantly amazed at the zeal with which he pursued his retirement. To me, he was something of a renaissance man, eagerly consuming books, Commonwealth Club lectures, and museum shows. He started playing Sudoku and doing other brain-teasers to keep his mind sharp. Greg continued to run three miles a day and exercise on the specially designed set of bars he built in the backyard. He finally finished a twenty-year long project a chess board on a wine barrel decorated with mementos of his career.

Shortly after retirement, fly fishing captured his imagination and he devoted a lot of time to the sport. He studied books and learned to tie his own fly fishing ties. Greg often spent entire afternoons at the Golden Gate Park fly fishing ponds. This new-found love for the sport drove him to seek trout in rivers and streams throughout Northern California and Oregon. I remember seeing his Subaru packed with fly fishing gear including a floating platform that he could padded around lakes. Greg joked that none of this study and gear helped. In one story he told me of fishing at Sardine Lake, he sighted a large bass swimming slowly toward his position on the shore. Not having casted his line, he dropped the fly directly in front of the bass, which ignored it and turned to swim along the shore. So, Greg walked along the shore dropping his fly ahead of the bass at intervals of several feet. The bass took no notice and eventually swam away. But none of this deterred him; he kept at it until the final months of his life.

To this day, I miss Greg. I feel his presence in Andis eyes, in my childrens play, in his home, in the Redwood forests, and in the lakes and rivers that dot Northern California.

In high school it seemed a good idea to go on a double-date. I asked a young man I was dating if he had a friend who might like to go out with my best friend. He answered Yes, and that is how Cath came to meet Greg. Like Cath, he appeared quiet and kind, and when he looked at Cath, the depth of his expression is hard to describe. You could tell that he was completely focused on hersomething that has never changed over the years save to forge a unity between two people that became indestructible. The next thing I know, Cath and Greg are married and within a couple of years I too am married to another tall man, Steven. It should come as no surprise that in time Steven and Greg developed a relationship similar to the one I have with Cath. And once our kids were grown, we started traveling together, be it Hawaii, Europe or our annual trip to Sardine Lake. We all loved doing the same things, be it hiking, playing board games, exploring new places, or reading together.
It has all been so easy, being together. I am convinced that Greg was one of the fewthe truly generous of spirit that gave so much to so many. Steven and I are beyond fortunate to have Greg in our livesfor he is not gone when his memory glows so brightly.

Dad and me in the quick final weeks

What a lovely, though also sad, beginning to the new year to read a message from an old friend of my dad's, who only just learned of his passing. I know exactly who Dale is to my Dad though I never met him. Thank you for realizing it would still be, will always be, a great gift to hear about him from others and to know that their lives were touched by his.

I'm still missing my dad so much. The holiday season is especially hard. My parents created amazing holidays through many fantastic traditions and the season is kicked off with my dad's birthday in late November, which is shared by my daughter. It's bittersweet to try to make the holidays as special for my children as he, with Mom, made mine. They are just not the same anymore and they never can be again.

To the Trindle family. I just discovered your fathers obituary and am saddened to hear of his passing. Greg and I grew up on the same block. Attended El Camino High school at the same time. I had the privilege of introducing your father to your mother in a friends kitchen.
Wow did the sparks fly. They were immediately a loving couple.
Your father was born to be a peace officer and knew it early in his life.
He was always a very honorable person. I am very sad to hear of his passing.

To Trindle Family, I really got to know Greg well after I selected him to be an FTO years ago. Watching him fine tune his own skills while helping the deputy trainees he supervised really showed me what type of person he was and what a great future he would have in his career. I knew right away that his natural leadership skills would take him to the top of our department. Greg was a model employee that lead by example for all the years I knew him. Good bless him and his family. Rest in piece Greg, you earned it.

I am so sorry for your loss. Obviously, there are no words for something like this, but I did want to let you know my impression of your dad. He came across as a loving husband and father that never wavered in his commitment to his family. He didn't seem like someone that was affected by the negative things in life that I am sure he saw as part of the police force. Honorable, strong, principled, dedicated, high-character...are all words that I think of, and have used in describing him. He was a tall, good-looking, strong man who obviously had a lot of love for his family. You were lucky to have been his daughter, he did right by his family and that is the most important thing one can do in my book.

everyone needs help in this time, I am here (although on this side of the bay) and am willing to help if I can. Alexis is welcomed to stay the night or weekend over here if you ever need a break,

Love,
Mike

Regarding the chess board: This piece of art (masquerading as a functioning chess board) is truly beautiful. Every piece was hand carved, every badge earned and glued, every wine cork enjoyed by dad and mom or his girls and their families. Pictures probably don't do full justice, but I hope everyone can see that it's really magnificent.

To Cath Trindle and family,

My family and I pray for the best for each of you as you move forward from the sudden loss of your Husband and Father, Greg Trindle.
I never worked for him. But I was fortunate to have worked with Greg extensively when he was first a Patrol Deputy Sheriff, a Field Training Officer, SWAT/ Tactical Team member and then as a Sheriff's Sergeant. Sergeant Pronsky and I rated him Outstanding overall.
Greg was a good administrator, but as a street Lawman he excelled. God Bless you Greg for all the people and little children you helped and saved. May you Rest in Peace!!

To Cath, Jessica, Andi, and the whole family, I am deeply saddened to learn of Greg's passing. He was a wonderful, gentle, strong person, and I admired him greatly. I've always appreciated the warmth in which he welcomed into the family, his yearly East egg hunts, and the eggnog that could lay you out on Christmas day. His integrity is something I aspire to daily.

On behalf of the 600+ members of the Sheriff's Office Association, we join Cathi and her family in mourning the loss of Greg. We are saddened to learn of Greg's passing and were proud to count him among our members. We knew Greg as a quiet, warm and reflective man who always served as a role model to our newer members and those throughout the Sheriff's Office. He will be remembered as one who truly cared about others, as he would peer over his glasses, then simply smile. He embodied a hard working personal ethic and valued family above all else. Please accept our condolences and warm wishes for fond memories of Greg to comfort you and fill your days as you move forward.

Greg led by example by showing he cared about others, whether it was a decision regarding a member of the office or the community. His compassion for others will be remembered always. God Bless his family.

The world lost a true gentleman in Greg's passing. I count myself to be both lucky and privileged to have been able to work for Greg, who was one of the kindest individuals that I came across in my career. His candor and insight was always appreciated, yet it was his smile and laugh that I will always remember most. Cath, I hope that you and the rest of the family are warmed by fond memories that ease your feeling of loss and keep Greg close for an eternity.
