Killed in the line of duty. Officer Glen A. Gaspar was the 37th officer to die in the line of duty in the Honolulu Police Department history. He was killed arresting a guy in Kapolei.
Services would be a Tribute by Honolulu Police Department to a Fallen Warrior. As the coffin was being carried out to the hearse, hundreds of flowers were dropped by HPD helicopter. After leaving Kamehameha Schools, the HPD motorcycle officers escorted the funeral procession; which drove by the Honolulu Police Department. There were hundreds and hundreds of police officers standing at attention on the steps and standing on and in two lanes of both sides of the street—traffic being blocked off for blocks. The sight was overwhelming.
Upon arriving at Hawaiian Memorial Park there were two Honolulu Fire Department’s hook and ladder trucks with ladders raised and crossed in an arch with the U.S. Flag and the Hawaii State Flag hanging from the ladders. All you could see was a sea of Police Officers. The hearse was lead by a missing rider formation with one riderless horse in front of the hearse. After a short service, white doves were released and another helicopter dropped thousands and thousands of flowers over the burial site. Then, a 21-gun salute. Taps was playing in the background. With the services complete, a celebration of his life was done in true Hawaiian style, a luau with Hawaiian food and music.
