My heart goes out to your Family Frank. I was just looking back through some pictures of my brother and saw him on one of the last vacations we took. He had a memorial shirt for you on in the photo. May you both be at rest in Heaven. May your family know the sacrifices you made, and all LEO's make, are to keep us safe. God Bless.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 12th anniversary year 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 the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

I knew Frank for several years. We became better friends when I was working with the Mon Valley Drug Task Force and worked out of the Morgantown P.D. office. We never called each other by our names. It was either "cooge" or "cuz" "It's an ITALIAN THING". Frank was well liked and respected and missed by all. RIP cooge.........

Thank you to whoever put the beautiful rose and blue ribbon at the rail trail memorial on the 10th anniversary of Frank's accident. It was there when I took my parents to pay their respects and made us feel good that others remember, too.

"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.

I just recently found out about the Fidazzo accident. As a bicycle instructor it really hits home. When I think about all the classes I have been involved with, and all the trails and obstacles we ride over and through, it makes me realize how easily tragedy can occur.

I hope his family is doing well and I wish them the best.
