It has been a long time, 22 years, I first met Trooper Mann summer of 2000, He pulled me over on a mutual friend's Harley for speeding, No ticket but a very stern understanding about how it will not happen again, and return the bike to T. Cole immediately, Trooper Mann's size appearance and honorable attitude, First Class that day,
Jan 1 2001,. early morning, I bought a new pair of gloves at Tiger Mart, near Adelphia Coliseum,( that's was its name back then) I drove a Rollback tow truck, roads were slick and Icy, I saw what happened, and the Dodge pickup, I later described perfectly to TBI,
I found out a few years later 2003 or 2004 after moved home, from Nashville to U.P. Michigan ,Trooper Mann has family 15 miles west,
Trooper Mann and family are in my thoughts and prayers,

Thinking of you friend. You where one of my mentors when I first started in law enforcement while working in Williamson County. Thank you for your encouragement. Keep all those military vets in check up there. Marines can still be a rowdy bunch

To all of you who've left a message for my uncle, my rock, my biggest supporter EVER IN LIFE ON EARTH, my heart over flows with love for you. The same kind of love that Uncle Greg had for so many. Nothing can fill the void left by him, but boy oh boy, the good memories to make the sting of death a little more tolerable. Remember well...remember him often!

Hey sweetie, hard to comprehend it's been over 14 years since I've seen that grin. Or had trouble cuz I didn't keep the fork. 14 years...lots of changes...moving on finally. Say 'hi' to JE for me since I'm sure he's up there cracking bad jokes. Last conference was a huge success. You would have loved it.

Trooper Mann;
My son was killed October 9, 2003 in Clare County Michigan. My cousin, Maquette, drove all the way down here for his funeral. I think of you and your heroism often.
Now each year I hold a Project Blue Light ceremony to honor all of those who give the supreme sacrifice and those who risk their lives each day. This year I will add your name to our roll call of heroes. I am sorry I didn't do it sooner. Please know that you will never be forgotten and that your heroism was not in vain.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 9th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for the solace of all who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
Rest In Peace

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.
