In uniform and in his private life, Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore was a generous man. He was an officer who stopped to talk to kids, complimenting them for wearing bike helmets. He coached youth soccer. In the department where he worked for 16 years, Moore was known for his dry wit and engaging grin, as well as his calm during emergencies. “Greg was outgoing, gregarious, and he loved his work,” said John Brumley, his former father-in-law. “He was incredibly dedicated to the men and women he worked with.” Thousands of people are expected for Moore’s 10 a.m. memorial service today at Lake City High School, where he once worked as a school resource officer. Moore died Tuesday after being shot early that morning during a confrontation with an armed felon. Jonathan Daniel Renfro, 26, of Rathdrum, is facing first-degree murder charges in his death/Becky Kramer, SR. More here.
