Well my love, another year gone by and I still see your smiling face and want to see your satisfaction at how well your girls all have done. You would get a kick out of the grands. They too are getting all grown to soon.
I hope you are flying free and enjoying your life on the other side.

Love always, Deb

Larry, I am forever grateful for your sacrifice. I have inherited your wife, kids, and grandchildren. I only hope that I can be a "good" fill in. I hope to do better but I'm only human. I'll do my best to be the husband, father, and grandfather you were and would have been. I will not let your life or name be forgotten outside of our circle of life. I hope to meet you and give you an embrace that is mutual in respect. You are always welcome to give me guidance, for I'm only human and have many flaws.

Your faithful "Fill In"

Hey Larry it's been a long time. It's been over 32 years. I remember like it was yesterday. Remember all the great things we've done together in the great man you were. These hope you know how much I miss you. So many things I feel want to say oh, but you don't know how to put them in words.

I wish you would have more time together. So you could have shown me so many more things. I miss you I just want to say I miss you.

30 years has gone by in the blink of an eye. I often think of Larry and the positive impacts he made on his community and those around him. Larry was my uncle. I have fond memories of family picnics, wood cutting and seeing him on Friday nights at the Tacoma roller rink. I was 18 when Larry died, and I can only say I wish there would have been more time to know and learn from him.

All of Larry's brothers and parents have since passed on, only leaving a few of us left in the family that can reflect on the good times and take comfort that Larry's legacies live on.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, and the Tacoma Police Department for allowing us an avenue for sharing our thoughts and memories of Larry and all the fallen officers.

I was one of the rink rats at the Tacoma Roller Rink where Larry served as a paid officer. He was one of the kindest, even-tempered officers I've had the opportunity to be acquainted with in all my years. I spent almost every night of my teen years skating at that rink and on the weekends pausing between going around in circles to chat with Officer Larry W. Walker. His death came as a shock to me and every one of the rink rats. Many of us showed up at his funeral and openly grieved his passing. To this day, I still will occasionally bring up his name to others, he's remembered still. I wasn't a close friend, I wasn't a co-worker, I wasn't family, I was just a kid who liked to stand and talk to Larry.

"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.

Although I don't remember meeting you, you were/are talked about often in my family. My family lives very near your Mom and they have all been friends since I was little. I hope your family is doing well and that you have run into my Dad up there. Keep an eye out, I'm probably going to follow your path closely and I suppose life is never safe when you wear a badge.

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who remembers my dad.
He was a wonderful man, and I miss him very much.
Anyone out there who can tell some stories about what my dad stood for would be such a wonderful gift.
Now that I am parent myself, I would like to know who my dad was as an adult. What he stood for, and believed in. I love you very much and miss you everyday. Cassie

I was a student at Baker Junior High when Officer Walker was killed. He was an Excellent mentor to all the students. The memorial that the student body placed in the school field has been vandalized beyond repair. I am trying to have a new memorial placed there . I am currently waiting to hear back from the police union and several others organizations. If you would like to help please contact me at [email protected].

Thanks

Larry was a wonderful neighbor and loving father. Some time after his daughter, Christine, became friends with my daughter, my husband suddenly said, "I thingk Christine's dad is the officer who responded to the problem in our neighborhood when she (our daughter) was a baby." We looked at the card left and, yes, he was. And that is how I know that he was also a great officer. He came back repeated until he had contacted everyone and did his best to be sure the problem wouldn't be repeated.
He is missed.
Rest in peace, Larry
