Funeral for slain OPP Const. Pierzchala held in Barrie, Ontario | FULL

A private funeral was held Wednesday for Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Const. Grzegorz (Greg) Pierzchala in his hometown of Barrie, Ont. where his colleagues remembered him as a wonderful officer with a big heart made of gold.

Ontario’s premier and the lieutenant governor were among those who joined Pierzchala’s family for the funeral held at the Sadlon Arena.

A procession that was held before the private funeral saw a police motorcade make its way through the streets of Barrie as several members of the public watched.

Pierzchala was shot dead last week in an ambush attack when he was responding to a call for a vehicle in a ditch west of Hagersville, Ont. on Dec. 27.

The two suspects wanted in connection to his death have been arrested and each faces a first-degree murder charge.
