Patrolman Sweeney,
On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during WW I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Officer Sweeney,
I am the grandson of Sgt. Patrick F. Delaney and neighbor and friend of your grandson, Tim. There will never be enough word to express the debt that is owed to you and all the CPD officers who gave their all. As grandsons of fallen CPD officers, I can say that your sacrifice is still felt to this very day and that your memories are honored. Thank you.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd anniversary year 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

I wanted to stop at your reflection page and thank you for your dedicated service to the City of Chicago. Your name appears on the same panel as my son Michael who also died in the line of duty for CPD. Both of you will forever be remembered with dignity and honor at the site of the Chicago Police Memorial on the Lake front. You will never be forgotten as you are a true hero.
