You are my dream come true. An empty space has remained at the center of me, since I last hugged you. I've been missing you every moment you have been away from us. I walk through life with you on my heart's mantel.

You are remembered...You are loved.

Although I may have been too young to remember him, my uncle Craig has been in my thoughts. He was my hero back then, and continues to be that way now... I just wish I would have had the chance to get to know him, I know my life would have been different. I miss him.. and hope he is looking down on me... and guiding me when I need him most. My love to you always Uncle Craig... I miss you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 30th 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 diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace.

Just found this page and am glad to see that even after 29 years you are remembered for your sacrifice. I still recall growing up with your brother Joel just around the corner from my old house, the couple of times you actually baby sat us, and I still remember hearing the news when my parents called me the evening of Feb 9 while I was away at college to break the news. I know everyone lucky to have known you are still proud of you. Rest in peace Trooper.

Today being Memorial Day, I reflect as I always do on those we have lost and I am humbled.

After all these years, I just now have seen this page. It has taken years for me to go here and I am so comforted by all those who have left messages.

Craig, my knight in shining armor, you are so loved, and I still miss you after all these years. Thank you my love for being who you were and the dedication and sacrifice you made for us. I will love you forever, rest in peace, and until we meet again....

Craig:
Feb. 9, a week after Ground Hogs Day, again... I despise Feb. 9 and try to forget it... I miss you!
However remember forever, your impact on me and others. That's been good.
A few recent events have allowed me to reflect on your past, on some triumphs and tragedy, which may help them in their endeavors to better protect and serve... our republic.
Love, your Bro...FOREVER.

I just stopped by to say hi, and you were in my prayers this day. I pass the area you were taken from us many times and think of you often. Save a place for me.

If you see my brother in law Tpr Mac Struble let him know Tpr Mike Cook and I had a cold one for him. OK more than one.

Craig and I served together as 1st Div. MP's in Germany, as roommates and squad leaders. He way a great Police Officer and never one to let his guard down, thats what made it so hard to believe when I received the telephone call the night he was shot. I still talk to others about him and his death so that others will keep in mine how serious police work is. Our mutual friend, Dan Beseth, also a 1st Div MP named his son after Craig.

"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.

Peter came to see me after your death and we remembered all of the old times in Germany. It was a sad occasion but the memories were all joyful and humerous. We speak of you still when we get together...the last time at the wedding of my daughter. I am sorry we could not get together after our mutual discharges from the US Army.

I met Trooper Scott in Huron County when I was only 16 or 17 years old. He responded to an assault complaint where I was the victim. He and his partner took the complaint, and made a positive impact upon me which I believe helped me decide that police work was what I wanted to pursue. I was a very young officer at the time I heard Trooper Scott was murdered. He was a no nonsense kind of guy when it came to his job. You have not been forgotten and will always be remembered. God Bless you and your family!

I remember Tpr. Scott well, I was talking with him just about a half an hour prior to him being shot. He was a great Officer and he was a great person. He will aways be missed by his family and his family of police officers.
