Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Harry and I initially were hired in 1979 by the San Diego Harbor Police, and worked together for approximately one year. We both decided that department was not for us, so we went our separate ways, me to the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, and Harry to the San Diego Police Department. We stayed in touch with each other until that horrible day (June 6, 1981). When I heard he had been killed, it was like a knife had been stabbed into my heart. I was inconsolable. He was a good friend, and a great police officer. Over the past 42 years, I think of him, and still miss him. Rest in peace my brother, and my friend.

Nearly 20 years ago I explored the possibility of starting a post-military career as a police officer in southern California. I did some ride alongs and interviews by day and surfed the internet by night. One evening I came upon the Honor Roll website. I looked up a lot of fallen officers that night, reading their stories. For some reason, out of all of them, this fellow -- Harry K. Tiffany -- stuck out. Despite the fact that a fellow officer died right alongside him during the same incident, his story, his face, his eyes -- they seemed different. It's like it just wasn't supposed to be his time. I was around the same age he was when his life was taken away; maybe he was trying to tell me something. Maybe, in a way, I listened -- I wound up not pursuing a law enforcement career after all. I moved on to other things, got married, had kids -- but all these years later I still haven't forgotten Harry K. Tiffany's name. And I remain grateful for his service and his sacrifice.

I worked with Keith and Ron out of the Western Division. A few days before, Ron fixed my flashlight for me. I was off for the birth of my first son( 6/4/81). I still remember hearing the news to this day and every so often I say their names to myself to honor their memories. Two kind men gone, but never forgotten as long as I live.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 31rst 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 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 pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends and the thirteen- year-old boy you inspired for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

In 1980, I was 13 years old and living in the Central Heights neighborhood of San Diego with my single mother. We were poor. One night I broke into a neighbor's house and stole bread and bologna from the kitchen. I was confronted by the person living in the house and I ran out the door. I was later arrested by Officer Harry Tiffany who took me to the police station. I sat at the desk while he filled out the arrest reports. I remember his handwriting was small, neat and in all capital letters. He said to me, "The next time you are hungry call me and I'll buy you food." When I heard on the news that he had been killed something happened inside me that changed my life. I went on to lead a fulfilling life, but never forgot that kind man who sincerely cared about a troubled young boy. I am now 42 years old and to this day I still only write in small capital letters. Thank you, Officer Tiffany. God Bless.
