Constable Dave Ross’s brother-in-law described how Ross was barbecuing dinner last Wednesday evening when he answered a call about an armed man — responding so quickly he left the barbecue lid up.

Constable Fabrice Gevaudan was remembered as a man who gave of himself and made a difference in the world.
