After retiring from the police department, I attended seminary and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve at St. Peter’s, a small Episcopal church in North Lake (WI). I am married to Sabine Lobitz (also a former police officer). Together, we have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. I continue an active life as a writer, poet, priest, cyclist and cross-country skier – and, yes, “police observer-commentator!”
