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 70th 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.

I absolutely hated to read the senseless circumstances of your death. How your family must have suffered over this tragedy.

A tragic story and a waste of human life. May God bless you always and may he continue to watch over your family. You are not forgotten.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Rooney and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.
