Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Bruce, I recall you almost every day. I remember the fine person and human being that you were. Attending your Wake and then your funeral, left an impact on me and strengthened my resolve, to be the best officer but most importantly, person that I could be. The line of law enforcement vehicles, went on for miles and miles and was a symbol of your dedication and the respect for you, that’s still true to this very day. Thank you again my Brother, for the life you lived and the impact that you had on me and most importantly, the community you served. Continue your Peaceful rest, in GOD’s Loving Arms.

Hi APD/RCSO,

Sadly, I have commented on these forums too many times as to the officers I knew. The "crack wars" were a bad time. I remember the day Bruce was taken from us. I was on 02 beat, D Detail with APD (before metro), and received an officer down broadcast. I'm not sure the pin is correct. It seemed to me like it was on Old Savannah Road for some reason. Unfortunately, we got there too late. He, along with the other officers/deputies at APD/RCSO who paid the ultimate price, will be remembered!

I bet you a granny are living it up in Heaven! Other than rejoicing at the Feet of Jesus and finding granddaddy she was longing to see YOU!!
Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice!

I still remember when you would throw money up in the air and anything we could catch before it hit the ground was ours! You were one of the best! Wish you could have lived here on earth longer ❤️

You never forgot an old friend, no matter how many years passed. Your heartfelt caring for others, and strength of character only grew as you matured into adulthood. I enjoyed the conversations we had in those months before you were taken. Rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 25th 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.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace

Wow, what a long time ago. Bruce was a good friend. We went to school together, church together and various other events. Bruce loved his job.

R.I.P my dear friend. I often think back to the things we did as kids and I miss those more simple days.Then I remember that horrible day 25 years ago when I saw you at Peach Orchard and Lumpkin Rd. I asked you about getting coffee and you ...were too busy. An hour later that POS had taken your life and shot Larry K. I can't help but wonder if we had taken time to get a cup if things maybe would have turned out differently. Only the Good Lord knows that answer, all I know is I miss you Moose!!!

My dad was the other deputy who was wounded. I often think about your family and the pain that was felt by them. I know it was a long time ago, but there are others who still remember. Anyway, I wish you all the best.

I still remember your sacrifice! Even though I did not know you, your murder by a former deputy was appalling and still comes to mind occasionally. Thank you for your service and bravery!

How sad for the officers that stray down the wrong path. You didn't deserve to die like that and you are a hero.....blessed is your family to have such a fine hero.

may your loved ones find god and hold his close to your hearts now and forever! Again, we will see all our loved ones, one day we will never have to part again. Jesus loves you! Find comfort in him!
