The below is copied from a closed Facebook group of the 105 MP CO. SSG Craig Lehner was my squad leader for my last year in the guard. He was a good Soldier, NCO, and person. He will be missed.

"Always a fighter, always quietly setting the example for younger soldiers to follow, always a leader to look up to, someone to depend on to keep his cool when situations became stressful. Thankful I got to know SSG Craig Lehner, EOW 10/13/17. Rest easy brother, we've got it from here. My thoughts are with the Buffalo Police Department, his K-9 partner Shield and the rest of my 105th Military Police Company family."

SgtGold, sorry to hear this. Do you know if his body has been recovered? I read that the search had been suspended until daylight.

Craig was a City of Buffalo police officer and excelled in that role as both a K9 handler\trainer, and a rescue diver. He was also a SSG in the 105 MP CO, NYARNG. I was privileged to work for him during my last year in the NYARNG. A combat vet of multiple tours, SSG Lehner was a consummate professional and the type of Soldier and leader that troops of all ranks could admire and hopefully emulate. He lost his life last Friday during a water rescue training exercise in Buffalo NY. 10-7 Craig, you will be missed.

RIP Officer Lehner. Condolences and prayers to his family and fellow Officers.
It takes a special bred of Officer to be part of a dive team. Rescue and recovery work in the cold, dark waters is not for the faint of heart or weak of mind.

My condolences, prayers up for family and friends.

I'm sorry for your loss.
