Memorial Update: 4/24/2017

Ground has been broken and construction has begun! We visited the site to see the progress and to take a few pictures to show everyone who has been following this page!

Skip's Landscape has been working to prep the site along with trimming the existing bushes. It is exciting to see this become a reality after a little over a year's worth of planning and fundraising!

There is still time to donate to this effort and any amount helps!  We are also working to raise funds for the Robert A. Kozminski Memorial Scholarship which pays for one year of full tuition at Grand Rapids Community College for a student whose goal is to work in law enforcement. The recipient is chosen by Kozminski’s parents. 

Please consider donating today!
