Reflections for Sergeant Casper Thomas Schmotzer
Today is the 100 th anniversary of the day my mother, Delores Schmotzer Mangan, then a month short of her seventh birthday, learned that her father would not be coming home from work -- ever. I began doing some research as the centennial approached, but have not got much farther than newspaper clippings. Obviously no one alive today has first hand information, but there may be second or third generation people with something to share. I'd especially like to contact relatives of Casper's partner, Martin Milowski, who was wounded that day. If anyone has information, please contact me. [email protected]. On this day, rest in peace, Casper and mom. Dennis B. Mangan

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never dimishes respect, not even 89 years.
Rest In Peace
