Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Mr. Danny, it's been almost twenty-three years since you've passed. I may not have any memory of you, but the stories I hear almost every day are enough for me to know how much you meant to everyone. I'm almost twenty-five now, I still drink Coors (but I'm old enough for my own bottle; don't have to steal yours!), and I still have the zoomies. Mom still listens to "Danger Zone" and laughs about you setting the tape to play it every morning after work. G&A's baby is all grown now, about to be twenty-three and engaged. I wish you could be here for all the moments you've missed. Don't worry, Ardizone hasn't messed with any school buses lately.

Daniel Jr., if you happen to read this, my parents have some items for you that were once your father's. I want you to know what an amazing man he was and how proud he would be of you. I know you never got to physically know him, but you look and act just like him. I mean that in the best way, haha! If you'd ever like to reach out, don't hesitate.

Hard to believe its been so many years Danny being gone. He was a good cop. He was an on fire rookie and would have had a good career. He loved his job and was always eager to learn. I think of Danny often gone too soon.

It's been 16 years and I still remember everything about that night. From my drive home from work to the phone call about you being in a accident. Never imagined seeing you laying there covered up. Then having to call Lee and tell him. I really miss our birthdays together never thought on my 9th birthday I would get a little brother. Still missing you every day

Dear Mr. Danny,

When I was a mere infant you and your wife allowed my mother, sister, and I into your home. Though I only know you through stories, I know you were a great man. My parents talk about you often, tears stinging their cheeks. Your son is my age now, and he’s grown up to look just like you. I think you’d be proud. My stepdad misses you the most, and cannot talk about you much. He was with you til the end, as your friend and sadly paul bearer. Never had he been as sad as that day. You were a true hero, just trying to make the world a little safer. I hope Heaven is well and that you can see your family well.

I think of you often brother and never without shedding a tear! I remember talking with you for hours when you were still a Pinkerton Security Guard about becoming an officer. You ate, slept, breathed police work. You went out the only way you could, rushing to the aid of a brother in need. God bless and keep you!

Danny, the first time we met was when we both were hired by Prichard. from that moment on we were very close. we would take turns driving to the academy. i remember one day you were driving your white crown vic and you had a siren in it and i must have bumped it with my leg and we kept looking around thinking someone was trying to pull us over not realizing it was your siren we heard. i remember taking turns at each others house studying and drinking beer. well, mainly drinking beer but it was time well spent. when it was all said and done we made it through the academy. i have to be honest with you. i used to worry about how you would do on the streets because lets face it you were not a big guy by no means. i found out soon enough what you were about the night at prichard stadium during that huge football game when the entire stadium broke out in a fight on the field. me and you were standing next to the railing on the bleachers and when the fight broke out i looked at you and you were gone. you had done leaped over the railing and ran onto the field to start doing what you had to do. i knew at that moment i wouldn't have to worry about you. i knew you were the kind of man i wanted to work beside, the kind of officer that runs towards the fight not away from it. then sadly i remember the last time i saw you. it was June 4th 2002 at the hospital after my wife had just given birth to my little girl. you and your family came to our room and gave my little girl a stuffed animal which we still have today. when you left that night i had no idea that two days later i would be in the waiting room when the doctor came in to tell your wife, mother and brother you had passed. i lost a friend and brother that night as did many. i miss you buddy. see you soon.

It has been 10 years since I spoke to you. I remember calling you that morning and trying to get you to call in sick so we could go fishing. The last thing you said to me was " I'll see you when I get off work."
Your name still comes up in conversations and we still tell stories about all the crazy things you use to do. Over the years my kids have looked at your picture hanging on the wall and have asked questions about you. Each time I tell them something new about us growing up and the fun we had.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the tenth 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Well tomorrow is seven years since you left. Others may forget about your sacrifice that you gave but I never will. I remember those academy days and sometimes they seem like yesterday. It hard to believed that you are gone. A few months ago I went to Washington D. C. and went to the Law Enforcement Officer Memorial. I looked up your name and etched your name off of the wall. It was hard to see your name on that wall, but it was such a great honor in seeing it there. There has been several times that I have been in fights, chases and other situations and I think, Daniel helped me through that one. Rest in peace my brother in blue and keep looking over us because it is getting rough down here. Thank you again for service and sacrifice.
