I worked with this gentle giant. A big man that could have easily crushed with those huge hands yet his kindness and humanity were far stronger than his grip.
I remember his smile and the twinkle in his eye when he laughed. Thanks for being there for me Sarge.

Jim, I am sorry for being late to acknowledge that this year marks 20 years since you were taken from us. I am sure that many people today do not even know that three HHC Police Officers were killed while even the City of New York refuses to acknowledge that we exist. Jim, as long as I can still breathe, talk, and walk I will continue the fight to get things better for our people and hopefully become free from 237 and be part of LEEBA.

I am proud to say that it was an honor to have served under Sgt. Low's supervision. He was admirable, humorous and a gentle giant with a large heart for all to love. If you never had the pleasure of meeting him, you missed an abundant wonderful spirited human being. Always looking out to serve his Staff with the utmost comfortable environment no matter what the challenge was during our tours. It was a somber but privileged opportunity to have served as an Honor Guard for the services of Sgt. James C. Low. We will miss you always Sarge for you have been reassigned to the Pearl Gates continuing your tour of duty and answering to a higher calling. Much love and Respect to you and your family.

As a for DOH Police officer I do understand the supreme scarafice you make everytime you respond to call. Answering the call with little concern for self but a greater concern for the safety and welfare of patients, satff and vistors in the facility

Ive been on this job for 10 years and I dont think anyone knows how hard and difficult this job can be at times especially since we are frowned upon by other cops and not equipt with the proper tools. People dont understand that we do the same job as NYPD AND WE GET HURT at times, we are officers just like any other law enforcement agency. So I salute Sgt. Low, PO Cantave and Cpt. Rodriguez for a great job and a job well done, Our hearts go out to there families.

To the family, friends, and co-workers of Sgt. Low you all remain in my prayers. Years ago the same thing happened to my partner. We had to fight with a psych patient just before we got off and by the time I got home I got the call that he had suffered a heart attack after arriving home due to the incident. I went to his house and waited with the body until the medical examiner came. That was my worst night on the job.

Jimmy on this 13th anniversary of your passing I took a moment and thought about the great work that you did at Woodhull Hospital for the New York City Health & Hospitals Corpation Police. I want everyone to know that you were a good guy and a great leader and that this may be the year that HHC Police will finally reach the goal of centralization, proper equipment, uniformed status, and a proper union to represent the officers.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 13th 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 am in awe of your selflessness. 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. Rob, thanks for sharing a son's devotion to a beloved father.

Rest In Peace.

"I just hope that a picture of you can be found at some point so that we have a face to go with the name. It’s amazing the impact seeing the memorialized officer face can have."

Sarge, that was from the reflection I left in 2007. Still no picture. That does not mean you've been forgotten, not in the least, but I still hope one can be found.

RIP.
