Jimmy retired last month. I had to work and couldn't go to his party. Holly sent me some videos. I wish I had been there with them. Annette still as cute as a bugs ear and Taylor and Josh all grown up. Gosh I'm old! I miss you Kirk but that's the update. No naked snow angels this year. Although it was a close one. Dang snow.

Bella,
If you are reading this I have your dad's bracelet. What better way this year to honor him than to give it to you. Kirk 16 years. I still miss you and your jokes and your smile.

I have had the honor of working with one of your dispatchers during my career, and attending the academy with one of PPBs finest that is now working in Franklin High where you once were. This year, I'll ride my bike in honor of you to the memorial during the Police Unity Tour. You've paid the ultimate sacrifice, and its our duty that you are remembered. God Bless your family and friends, we've got watch from here.

13 years yesterday. I made sure to talk a little about Kirk at roll call yesterday so those who didn't know him would learn something and those who knew him would remember. We'd all much rather have him here.
Drive safely to your calls. Slow down.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

Gosh. Hard to believe its been 12 years since you left us. I think about you all the time. In my daily tasks at home and on my hourly drive to work and back. When I see a big beautiful sun start to come up over Mount Jefferson and set over that same mountain I think of you and it brings me peace.

Went to High School with Kirk.
I was just thinking about him and found this site. One of the best guys I have ever met. A true friend. He was our shortstop, probably the best in the PIL back in the day. You never forget
the good ones.

Kirk,
Just wanted to let you know I am still thinking about you. I will always remember being brand new at SE nights and the fun we had when you were with the school police. Your dedication and enthusiasm are missed.

it was 10 years ago today we said goodbye. not a day has gone by when you weren't in my mind. i still can't bring myself to admit you're no longer here with me. i still catch myself picking up the phone to call you when something funny happens, when pop nearly knocks himself out... bella is with me this weekend. i'm going to take her to see you. you'd be amazed how much her mannerisms are identical to yours...with her, at times, it's if you were sitting right there. wherever you are, you take care of yourself. you may be gone...but, never forgotten.

Coming upon 10 yrs since the attacks of Sept 11th 2001. America lost alot of great men and women public safety workers that day. It also lost one on May 26th 2002. Thank you Kirk for your years of service and dedication. You will never be forgotten.

It is coming up on the 8th year since you were killed in that crash. I no longer refer to those things as accidents. Someone put you in a position that cost you your life. That is not an accident. I still miss you and think about you every day. I do find it difficult to talk about you to people that ask me about you that didnt know you. I find myself getting so upset and emotional that the words just wont come out. After all this time you would think it would get easier but it doesnt. Your little girl is just so beautiful. You would be so proud of Alison and the girls. I only see them in pictures every May in the newspaper but they have always been there for you. Kirk you were a fortunate man to have had such a wonderful family.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the seventh 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 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.

Kirk,

It's April and I just looked out the window and it's not snowing. I guess that means there are still no naked snow angels. I keep looking though because you told me to watch out for them. I miss you buddy.
