Reflections for Police Officer Henry Clinton Schaad

Fifty-five years have passed....and now, so has your brother, Barry, who faithfully attended every local Police Memorial service.

My last day of service with YCPD included National Night Out. The Codorus Homes "("project") had asked a Chaplain to offer an invocation at the start of their cookout. I told your story.....and then we prayed.

May your Memory be Eternal!

Rest in peace always knowing that your sacrifice will always be remembered by your law enforcement brethren.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 44th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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 pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

On March 13, 2003 the trial for those charged in Henry's death was completed. Two men were found guilty. Although this does not bring Henry back my hope is the justice that was done will help the family with the rest of their lives.
The Schaad family has shown themselves to be strong family we could all look to as an example of grace under pressure. May we all continue to remember Henry and his ultimate sacrifice in the name of law enforcement.

Brother Schaad, I am a new officer to the department and I look at your picture everyday and realize you gave the ultimate sacrifice. Brother, I know that as you look down from the heavens above, you are Proud, and you are watching, protecting us and giving us that strength we need. We should only realize how lucky we are to have such a strong bond amongest the department. This could not be more prevalent than at this very moment when two fellow officers had to make the decision to end a life. Thus, saving countless lives, both civilian and BROTHERS. I am proud to call myself a York City Police Officer! May we continue to make you proud. Until we can share stories in the Heavens. Rest In Peace Brother.

Officer Schaad,

Your daughter and I met recently and bonded instantly. She is a terrific lady who is striving to see your killer brought to justice after all these years. She now has a support system who knows the depth of her loss after all these years, because we too lost a parent in the line of duty. She continues to share your story and keeps your memory alive. I am glad to have met her and only wish you could know her today.

You Truly Are a Hero.

Officer Schaad,
I just wanted you to know that your daughter grew up to be a bright, articulate and beautiful person who misses you everyday. She continues to touch the lives of others and now more people know about your heroism and sacrifice. You would be proud of her.
