My sister was doing some family research and found Thomas O'Connell to be our mother's cousin. She passed it on to me as I am a retired Detective. I find it an honor to know that one of my relatives worked the job. Unfortunately making the ultimate sacrifice. May Officer Thomas O'Connor rest in peace.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 100th anniversary year 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
