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.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 84th 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.

Officer O'Connor: While conducting research into the early history of the Chicago Police Department, I just discovered that you were the great grandson of Constable Jeremiah H. Sullivan, the first Irish police officer on the Chicago P.D. As you know your great grandfather was from County Kerry, ireland and was appointed to the CPD as a Police constable on March 28, 1840. Jeremiah might even be the first Irish cop in America - but for sure the 1st Irish police officer in the city of Chicago! I also found out that you had four brothers also on the job: Sgt. Eugene P. O'Connor, P.O. George P. O'Connor, P.O. Joseph G. O'Connor and P.O. Charles L. O'Connor. Thanks so much to you and your family for not only your loyal service for which you paid the ultimate price, but for being a key member of the first Irish family that began the storied tradition of the Irish serving on the Chicago Police Department. A grateful city looks up to you this day and always to say you and yours: You will never be forgotten.

Patrolman O'Connor,
On today, the 80th anniversary of your murder, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served in Europe during WW I.
