I will never have the pleasure of personally meeting you or working beside you, but I do have the honor of being your son Sean's first Field Training Deputy. He will make you proud. May you continue to Rest In Peace.

You will never be forgotten.
Your wife has gone on to do great things for Police Officers, especially those who have fallen.
Charles Street was killed in prison and that denied me the request I made to the Governor to attend his Execution.
I was there that night and wish I could have done more to prevent this tragedy.

Dave,

You were a true friend, always smiling and always showing off many pictures of your son. Roll Calls were never the same since that day. There is a copy of your badge out in the lobby at Station 6 right next to Richies badge. Both Eric and Sean recieved small copies of your badge to wear next to thier heart. I will always remember that horrible night. Rest in peace my friend.

I just recently discovered the horrible story about your end of watch, despite having driven by the sign of your name & that of fellow Officer Boles almost every day for many years taking my children to their school. I've had the fortune of working with your kind wife for 4 1/2 yrs. & must admit that upon learning further details of the incident, my son caught me crying. We vowed to do something special in memorium - beginning with visiting this site suggested by a fellow "boy in brown".

To The Family of Officer Strzalkowski:
I wanted to offer my sympathies on your tragic death along with your partner Officer Boles. You are missed by your family, friends and colleagues. The bravery and courage you both displayed will never be forgotten. I lived nearby in the Aventura area and pass quite often by the 203rd St. sign that bears both of your names. My dad was a New York City officer for almost 40 years. Rest in peace Officer Strzalkowski.

I was working North Miami Beach PD the night you left us. I was the second car on the scene and to this day can close my eyes and recall every detail about it. I still remember the frustrated feeling inside me, knowing there was nothing we could do to save you. I'm sure you and Richie are 09 as a 2 man unit patroling the streets of Heaven.
Rest in Peace Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the twenty-first 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.

I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you. Both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace
