Reflections for Trooper John W. Staas
Trooper Staas,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the USN during WW II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 50th 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.
Rest In Peace

Mazie,
Without your love and support, I don't think Denise, Carmen and I could have gotten through the emotional week in D.C. God Bless you for being the wonderful person you are throughout our tragic loss from the very beginning.
The smiling faces of the survivors of the Triangle as we walked up the Capitol lawn when the Zimmerman family was called is etched in my mind forever.
Love,
Vicki & Carmen

Mrs. Staas,
I had the privilege of meeting you this past weekend in Washington D.C. during National Police Week. My husband Gary served as escort officer to Denise Zimmerman. I just wanted to tell you that it was a true honor to meet and be in the presence of you and the other survivors and honor your husbands and loved ones. I wish you continued peace and strength.

Dear John:
It's been many years since your untimely death. Clearly, you lived by the credo of "Honor, Duty and Fidelity."
No New Jersey State Trooper rests with a "blank" reflection page. Trooper Staas, rest in peace...your job is done.
