Policeman Beck - Three Fridays ago, on a very rainy morning, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Peace Officers Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.

Thank you for your service to the people of the City of Denver and the State of Colorado.

May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

I'd like to Thank Dan Beck for the update on Officer Beck's family. I often wonder what became of the families of the officers who passed on so long ago.
My father was born on August 29, 1908-nearly 4 months after Officer Beck died-he went on to live a long life-81 years-I think of all the life that was lived without Officer Beck here.
My husband, Deputy Dave Grant has his own page here-his EOW was 5/31/04-our children are now on their way finally to having successful lives-they are driven by the love their father had for them.
I have deep admiration for the Beck family who went on without him.
Reminds me that all of us can do the same.

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 101rst 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 the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 97 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
