Remembering Fort Lee Police Officer Robert Greener

FORT LEE, NJ — Borough Police Officer Kevin Greener died 19 years ago Thursday.

Greener was killed in a motorcycle accident on Aug. 9, 1999. The accident caused his motorcycle to go airborne and Greener hit a cement wall.

Greener was a five-year veteran of the Fort Lee Police Department and a 10-year veteran of the Essex County Police Department.

Greener is survived by his wife, Susie and children, Matthew and Tim.

Susie Greener posted a note of remembrance on the Officer Down Memorial Page online. She and her family attended a ceremony May 15 at the National Police Hall of Fame and Museum in Florida.

"Their ceremony is very meaningful to me, Matthew, Tim, and our extended family and friends. We always find your name on the 'wall' there and spend a few moments holding you in our hearts," Susie Greener said. "Your granddaughters will make a rubbing of your name to bring home with them. Next year, another grandchild will be with us! You live on in our hearts, our memories and the crazy stories we share about you. You were definitely one of a kind. You are deeply loved and sorely missed."
