So sorry for his family that they lost their loving CHPY. A brother wearing our beloved Blue & Gold is always with us. To Pattie: May God bless you and your family. I know exactly how much your husband loved his time riding motors. Some always want to be CHPYS but only a few will ever have that honor. Rest In Peace and you are remembered and will always be in our hearts and minds.

Jim was my life. To this day my love for him has not changed. He was a fabulous husband, father, brother, uncle and friend to many. I miss him and believe that I will be with him again someday. It was so unfair that his life was taken so early... but he has had a lasting effect on all who knew him. What a powerful man he was, in so many ways!

I was unaware that Jim passed away in 2004. I am truly saddened. I went to high school with Jim and was a friend. He also had a great sense of humor and was a talented artist. I have a pencil sketch he did in high school. I would love to return it to his widow or children. If anyone knows how to contact Patti, Jacob or Joshua, please let them know. I can be reached at 510-815-4781. Thank you for your service Jim. I know you are missed.

I got a chance to know you back in the Oakland days. You were a great Officer and a wonderful person. You will never be forgotten I think of you often.

This guy was one of the best M/ C riders I had ever seen. I worked with Jim in San Jose mostly on swings on I-680. He used to mess with me. I would on a speed stop at night, Jim would drive by, go down a ways and black out his bike. Drive wrong way on shoulder and return to my stop. Then turn the Harley back on, causing a very loud backfire that was similar to a gun shot. Scare the you know what out me and the violator. He got the biggest kick out of doing this to me. RIP

Dearest Jim: Has it really been eight years?? The hurt still lingers because of your loss.

Wanted you to know you are still thought of and remembered and loved. Of course Berdoo is still wonderful and busy. We have a new command staff and they are wonderful.

Keep watch over the 860 squad. You were wonderful to know. Thank you for your service and for keeping us all safe!

I will always remember our time working the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay. I learned a lot from Jim being a veteran "west coast trained" motor officer during the short seven days in Georgia. You are missed brother and Never Forgotten!

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 to my home state. 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. I pray for the solace of your family and friends.

Rest In Peace.
