Hey babe,

It has been a year and I still can't believe you are not coming home. I miss you so much!
You would be so proud of the kids, they have all been so supportive to each other and me, but you knew that they would.
On the 29th we all went to the cemetary and had Paw-Paw's 1st birthday in heaven. Max had a red baloon and his was racing toward heaven first. He stood there with that look on his face like only a three year old could knowing that Paw-Paw was going to get his baloon first for your party. His Dad has been taking him fishing since Paw-Paw can't and he caught a 14" one this weekend he was so proud. Little Maycee looks just like her Momma did when she was 1, and she has her Paw-Paw's smile.
Love ya
B.D.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the first anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I know that you are loved and missed by many, and I hold your family in my heart today.

This past Saturday (5/16/09), I ran in the National Police Week 5K to benefit the Concerns of Police Survivors. By chance, I ran in memory of Sergeant Leslie Wilmott. May all of those that knew him and all whose lives were touched by him find comfort. God bless.

Last night (12-23-08), Sgt. Wilmott's father, George, passed away while Christmas shopping. George Wilmott was a long time Tulsa County Deputy Sheriff and while retired was still active in the FOP and numerious other Law Enforcement Organizations. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Family, this has been a diffcult year for them, but you guys are always in our thoughts. Both George and Les were outstanding Law Officers and I personally learned a great deal from them. We can never replace them, but can remember and learn from their example and I am proud to have known them.

To those who loved Sergeant Wilmott, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure Les will always be a part of yours.

It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Sergeant Wilmott for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.

Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,

I had the great fortune to have known Les and serve with him on the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association for several years. Les was a true professional. His hard work and dedication to service have left his mark on our association and the police service as a whole. His accomplishments and the lives he touched live on as a living tribute.

My wife Anita and I and the Family of our Son, Leslie Eugene Wilmott would like to thank all the people who have expressed their sympathy on this web site. Our Son was the husband of Jerrianne, father of Robbin [Wilmott]Becker, Jake & Matt. Grandfather of Max & Maycee Becker. A father-in-law to Scott Becker. He was also a Brother to Bonny Fletcher, Brother-in-law, Son-in-law, Uncle, Cousin, Nephew, and a Police Officer for over 30 years. He believed in a strong Family. He was a teacher in his Church where he often taught drug intervention classes.

One of his favorite sayings was "DO DRUGS AND DIE-DO NOT DO DRUGS AND LIVE." He also taught fellow Police Officers firearms use, and many other subjects. He often said that the crime rate was due to the breakdown of the family unit. It would not get better until Churches, schools, courts, and other agencies got involved in the education of families. Although our Loss is Great, our Faith is Strong, and with the help of our Church Family and our Law enforcement Family, the Oklahoma Sheriff's Peace Officer assoc., Fraternal Order of Police Chiefs Assoc., Tulsa County Sheriff's Dept., and all other Law Enforcement agencies, we are slowly dealing with our Loss. We try to remember that the LORD said "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEKEEPERS" and the LORD also said "I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU." We Sincerely Thank You.

George Wilmott

I was fortunate enough to have had the best teacher,and co-worker,and friend in Sgt. Wilmott. He was as close to perfect as a human can get,and the crazy thing was he made it all look so easy. When you met Les you automatically just had to like him. He taught us at Kiefer that above all, you had to trust the guys that you work with,because they might be the difference between you goin home or not. Les taught my academy fireams block,and I learned more than I had in the military about shooting,and also developed a love for it.Thanks Les, have fun in heaven "john-wayne'n the door!

I am also a Criminal Justice major at NSUBA and had the privilege of knowing Les through Dr. Z's Juvenile Justice, Evidence, and Sr. Seminar classes. Due to Les's extensive law enforcement experience, Dr. Z often used him as a resource to give us real life applications to the theory being taught. He had the respect of not only his fellow students, but his professors as well.
As a member of his NSU family, my sincere sympathy goes out to his family and Kiefer PD. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
