Sgt. Greg Moore’s wife and ex-wife sat side by side last week at Kootenai Health, waiting for updates on a man they each loved in different ways. After an officer knocked on Lindy Moore’s door around 2 a.m. to tell her that her husband had been shot during a confrontation with an armed felon, she called Jennifer Brumley, his former wife, and asked her to come to the hospital. In the early morning of May 5, the women waited and wondered: Would Moore survive the head wound? Would he want to survive if he was physically impaired? Of course he would, they decided. He had a 12-year-old son he loved deeply and a baby girl he adored.

Many tributes have been paid to Moore, the first Coeur d’Alene police officer killed in the line of duty. Friends and colleagues remembered the dedicated officer and the funny, gregarious man. But the work he put into creating a blended family – for the benefit of his kids – is also part of his legacy, the two women said/Becky Kramer, SR. More here,
