Well, Art it’s my turn to say good bye to the job. In good and bad times we were the Dover Police Officers. Today is my first day of retirement and my only regret is your passing 16 years ago. We will meet again and reminisce over old times. Rest easy pal....

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since we last spoke. I hope you enjoyed our awards ceremony this year. It was great to see how the boys followed in your footsteps. I know you are extremely proud of them. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten as your shadow box will always be on display inside police headquarters. You are missed and your memory will live on through the officers in our department. Rest In Peace Brother....

Art as you can see most all of the guys are retired. We almost lost the Big Daddy this year thank God we didn’t! As I walked into the locker room the other day, I looked at your locker remembering the good old days in the police department. Times have definitely changed over the years. Today, the police department remembers your end of watch. Rest in peace brother and continue to watch over all of us.

I can't beleive it's going to be 10 years since we lost you, my heart will always be heavy missing you, wishing you were here for all the milestones of life. AJ is a Sheriffs Officer and now engaged to be married. I am so proud of him, he thinks like you and has a heart of gold. Keep him safe. Ryan is doing well going to school, working full time and trying to make he and Mia's life better. She's such a peanut, Mia and Nana (me) have a very close bond. she's great I love her to pieces. Please watch over her, keep her safe. I love you and miss you little brother. I wanted to have a service this year but I ran out of time to put it together, I hope I can do it next year. Give mom a kiss for me..... Love you, Blanche

Art, I miss you and your smile, your constant picking on me (fun wise) is missed. I wish you were here to meet your great neice Mia, she is so cute, you would love her. We talk to her about you, we show her pictures of you. We told her you are in heaven with the angles. Please watch over her Art for she is not in a very good place right now in her life. She's so little she needs your angelic protection. I love you and miss you little brother.

Please keep watch over us and please protect Mia. God only knows she needs that, poor little Nana's peanut. Keep her safe from her surroundings at her home. God Bless you Art and again I miss you. Give Mom a kiss for me.

Art I can't believe it will be seven years since you were taken from us. The holidays are here again, I used to love the holidays, now I dread them. I miss you and your jokes, I miss our talks. It doesn't feel like 7 years. That horrible night is still fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday. Seeing you the way you were still kills me inside. Please watch over us Art things are not well. God bless you Art, I miss you and love you. Blanche

Art,
I was looking through this site as I do regularly. As I went back to another officer that was taken from us, your picture came up. This is the first time this has happened while checking the site. As your picture came up, a flood of memories of the horrible news of that night came back to me, and then the memories of the good times we had at work. We talk about you every day, and there is not a day that goes by that you are not in our hearts and minds. I miss you Art, watch over your brothers and sisters in blue and keep us safe.

I will always remember my uncle as an amazingly strong person, both physically and mentally. I was always proud to have him as my uncle. He may not have known it but he was always a hero to me. I have always loved him and will always miss him.

It's been 6 years and I remember it like yesterday. I know you are proud of the way that you were honored at the bridge. I was there for you as I was in the past. You are not forgotten Art and you will never be. Rest up my brother some day we will all laugh together again. Peace be with you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixth 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 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 those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace
