You were one of my very best friends at Prince George HS, Virginia. It was such a shock to find how your life ended at such a young age. You will always be remembered by this good buddy of yours.

Jack Schnell, you will never be forgotten. You demonstrated what true heroism is on a daily basis. The best police officer Titusville will ever see.

Jack had a unique sense of humor and I think of him often. It is hard to believe that it has been almost 30 year ago that Jack left us. He and Ron (734) were good friends, so that tells you what a strong personality Jack had!!! I miss them both.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 28th 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.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Jack and I met as kids in Lincoln back in the 50's. Our fathers were best friends most of their lives and although Jack and I lived 1500 miles apart, we both enjoyed our profession in law enforcement. I only learned of Jacks death recently and though the efforts of the Titusville Fl. police got an update on his tragic accident. Jack was a very dedicated and focused
young officer when I last knew him and his death in the line of duty will not be fogotten.

You rode well brother.
