Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Robert James Rusk, badge #1 for the Spokane Police Dept., was my great-great grandfather. My father was born at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane in 1916. Never been to the city but want to come visit the police station and pay homage to Robert Rusk and all other officers that have given their life in the line of duty. I'm meeting with Denise Rusk Hopkins, yes related, this week to go over family history, and came across this site in my preparation. Honor and appreciation to those who pay the ultimate sacrifice for public safety.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and twenty-third 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 stop by this site everyday after the death of my brother. I am very thankful for everyday that goes by and no new names have been added and very saddened when i see a new name.

I was looking at "This date in History" and noticed one of our own was killed on this date.

Officer Rusk thank you for your sacrifice, your dedication, and courage. You will not be forgotton.

...AT PEACE WITH HONOR

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
