Mr. Gremba, was a man who served in the Marines and a Police Officer for Mt. Lebanon. He was my instructor at PTC in 2012-2013. I do not believe I will ever meet a man who has accomplished such awesome things and stayed a happy, sweet, thoughtful, and *real* humble & exceedingly bright man. I know Mr. Gremba was a true follower of Jesus; also in the presence of many and much sweet harmonious spiritual benevolence and loving kindness just as he always showed us in my classes with him as our instructor. Thank You Goodhearted Teacher. May our paths cross again my friend . : )

Dear Kathy and family, I am saddened by the fact that Mike has passed. I'm so so sorry. Mike was an MLPD Officer when I started my career as a Paramedic in 1975. He was a wonderful person and I remember him fondly. The last time I saw Mike was while he was officiating a baseball game that my grandson was playing. He was the same happy guy I knew back in the day. God bless you and the rest of Mikes family. Praying for him and you. Bill Taylor
