Reflections for Deputy Sheriff John Paul Monego
Another year since that dreadful evening has come. Most, if not all, of us have retired and moved away! With the time and distance, you are forever in our thoughts…and always will be!

It’s been 25 years today God called you home. Seems like yesterday we got the horrible news. You will never be forgotten my friend. May you continue to rest in HIS care. Prayers go out to your family.

Well.....here we are again trying to fight the good fight on your behalf. I have to say it's getting tougher and tougher but you know me I'm a fighter and so is Dom and the community of people we have surrounded ourselves with. You are deeply missed on so many levels. Heavy on my mind and heart.

I was an original juror...but was soon removed by the defence...
Now 20 plus years later I'm hearing Gavin New some wants to commute the life sentence...this is horrible!!!
Please, write your California Assemblyman or State Officials...
These men should never see the light of day!

Dear John. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since God called you home. I am flying my Thin Blue Line Flag at half staffed in honor of you today and for the rest of this year. You and your family are always in our prayers. It was an honor to know you. Rest In Peace and I will see you soon.

It has been twenty years since you were taken from us. I was holding hand as the Lord took you home. That moment will be etched into my mind for the rest of my days. We never got the chance to go golfing and never got to meet up with each other at 7-11 to talk about our baby boys. I miss you my friend, but you certainly aren't forgotten. As always, a blue candle is lit in your honor in my home.

Tammy, Dom and family,
We were honored and humbled to share this Anniversary at DPS last evening.
To see the huge crowd is a testament to the fact that none of us will ever forget that awful night, the trial, and aftermath.
We are all always honored to reach out to you guys forever.
We cannot change what happened and by remembering together we
continue to honor John, forever.
Your friends,
The Rank Family

Paul was a Great Guy and a fantastic Deputy. I loved to work with him. I can't help but think of him whenever I come Back to Dublin.

Hello John, we are told that with time it will get easier. I find it gets harder. Seems like yesterday that we lost you in the most horrible way imaginable. You are missed by so many . Last month I was in Dublin and went to John Monego Court. (I was car shopping) and I asked the 24 year old salesman if he knew about you and your bravery . He did not, but know he does. You are a hero John and a friend. May you continue to Rest In Peace. We will 11-98 when I get there.
