Wow. I was looking for something to show a friend about another officer and I decided to see if you were listed here.

2003. It's been so long now...but it didn't feel like it.

I remember when someone we were in Jr. ROTC with at Byrnes called and told me about the accident. I was just in shock. I remember you being so lively, so hilarious...such a good person to know.

The Daytona Beach trip...the other many field trips we were all on...

"Operation Dumbo Drop"
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" sang at that restaurant on the pier...
"Puddin' Legs..."

...so many other little bits that stick out and make me laugh, but make me sad at the same time.

You are a great guy, and you are still missed, Squirrels.

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

This past week I had the fortune to teach at SCCJA on the driving range. On Friday I shared Scott's story. 10 years prior this month I sat in the same class with Scott and worried about failing out for not being able to pass driving. 1 year later I heard about his collision. I hope that through this tragedy, I can tell your story and it save a Brother or Sister. RIP Warrior. We have the watch.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 9th 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 the solace of 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 friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Scott,
I think of you so often and miss you so much. Somtimes it feels like you have been for so long and other times it is like you just left us. Just know you are always in my heart.

We had so many good times together and you were at my house so much. We were inseperable for quite awhile. I miss you. I think of you often. I hope you aren't listening to "Break Stuff" up there. You should be calm always there. Always remember our nights out and when you had to bring me home. I miss you brother.
Love

It always so comforting to read all of your posts. I thank you for each one. You were Scott's friends and coworkers and an important part of his life. I know and remember some of you. I treasure each of your posts and would love to hear from you.

Scott,

Just thinking of you buddy...I still remember when I handed over the Clinton and Joanna area over to you for the last time....

Your were a great asset to Laurens County.

A.L. Sullivan #35
Snellville Police, GA

The Policeman stood and faced his God, which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman,. How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough,
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime wheen the bils got just to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times i shook with fear
And sometimes, God forgive me I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much, but if you don't I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the Throne where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly, for the judegement of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman, you've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell."

Scott, I love you like a brother, and I miss you just the same.

You were the best friend to B__ and me - and to my parents - through so much. You encouraged us to hope, and we are so grateful that God let us be a part of your life. I'm quite sure that we could write a book and not run out of fond memories to share. :) You have always held a special place in our hearts and that will never change.

After reading through the reflections, I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one who received your late night phone calls... I, too, miss hearing from you and knowing that I could call you around-the-clock if I needed to laugh or be encouraged or be reminded of what really matters and what is true.

...I think I'll go write my book now. Love, B

I dated Scott When he was a Junior at Byrnes, and I went to the Jr. Sr. Prom with him. He was a great gentleman, and would have made an excellent husband and father to the lucky woman that God had for him. He will always be thought of with fondness in my heart. God has him now, and he is serving with God even though I/we miss him dearly!

"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.

My thoughts are with your loved ones on this 4th anniversary of you being called away from duty. I know the tears still flow from the many broken hearts that were left behind. You are a true hero and heroes never die. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten.
