Your heroism and service is honored today, the 5th 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 miss and love you.
To your mom, I share your anquish in losing a beloved child which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow. The hurt never goes away. but both the pain and pride are forever. Looking at his picture, I can see that he greeted the world with that radiant smile. You are in my heart's embrace.

Rest In Peace

On this 5th anniversary...I'm still shocked and amazed at what's happened to turn the lives of many people upside-down!

I was driving to the town-center earlier and I just had such a feeling deep down; I wasn't really sure what it was, that is, until I realized the date. I can still hear you laughing sometimes when I'm really deep in thought and those thoughts still give me butterflies.

Remembering back 10 years we'd be at the Ale House...remembering back 7, we'd be at Stonewood...and of course, 5 years ago I was on the floor as I watched the devastating news broadcasted...this date in time, once a very happy memory, is definitely harder to cope with since that terrible fateful day.

I miss our telly-chats and our meeting up for drinks after work, but most of all, I miss you with all of my heart.

I know you're here in spirit and I can talk to you, but it's just not the same...You're on my mind and definitely in my heart!

I can’t believe we are coming up on five years. Some days, the pain feels like it was just yesterday. I think about you all the time brother. My son is precious. I will do my best to raise him into the man you were. Carly is turning into a beautiful young women and she talks about you often. We all miss you a lot Lebido. I still don’t know why you were taken but I’m sure there’s a good reason. Thanks for looking out for me over the past years. I can use all the help I can get!

I our hearts forever brother!

I miss you friend.

I've got two more days and you know how impatient I am slowly getting...I know you know and I hope you can help me with my request. I'm so excited and wish you could be just a phone call away so we could talk. I've started dancing again and can't help but think of you when I hear a certain song, especially a routine; I can still picture you in the formation cracking up during practices. I miss you!

You're on my mind and definitely in my heart!

I couldn't bring myself to write to you on the 22nd; I still wish so much that it never happened. We've entered the holiday season and it's so lonely knowing you aren't available to call on the phone or to meet up with for some christmas shopping fun. This was always our time of year when we'd really reconnect and see much of each other and now, I'm just lonely thinking about what we could be doing in a Bed Bath or walking the Bell Tower. I can't stand it that you're not here. I miss you so much!!

Always, you're in my heart and always on my mind.

Hey you! Thanks for last night...I really needed it. I love when you visit me in dreams; still, everytime I have to get up, I'm very disappointed. I have such butterflies in my stomach because it feels so real...I can't explain it - it's a feeling so good yet so bad all at the same time; I even tell myself in the dream that it's just a dream even though deep in my heart I'm wishing it isn't. After a night like last night, well, my day's pretty much done because my heart will simply not focus on anything else but holding on to that great feeling. I miss you so much.

I'll be remembering tonight...9 years ago...and wishing we were back at that moment.

Now and Forever,
You're on my mind and definitely in my heart!

Hello Dear Phillip,

You know I talk to you and think of you practically every day and wish you were here helping everyone as you always did. God only knows we all need help here more than ever during these difficult times.

I remember our last talk. We were going to help each other and our close ones. While I'm still here on Earth, please give me the strength to finish the mission so that all will benefit, not only our close ones.

God Bless you and please help all of your family and close ones. You are truly missed and you are always our hero.

Love always,
US

Phillip Lebid was a great friend of mine in college. We attended the University of South Florida together and we both graduated with a degree in criminology. I just recently found out about his death, but I want the world to know that he was a good man with morals and stong ethics. Lebid is a real american hero.

I can't believe how fast time is flying by this year. Before we know it, it'll be autumn again. What was once my favorite season full of excitement, is now filled with sadness when remembering what happened to you. I miss you so much. There are days that seem much harder to cope with, but everyday is a struggle. It helps when I'm sharing stories about you with family and friends...especially to Miya. She's a true friend AND the only one who could ever provide the same warm understanding I know you would have if you were still here. I know you're watching over and protecting me...I feel much comfort in knowing that.

You're on my mind & definitely in my heart!

Phillip
There has been yet another senseless death at the Ft Myers Police Department - an Officer who shared many of your amazing qualities. Always positive - and believing he could make a difference. I can honestly say you are always in my heart and on my mind - especially during these hard times - your spirit helps me thru - I love you and miss you, but know that you are still dancing up in heaven and protecting someone very special.

Phillip,

It has been far too long my friend. For those of you who did not know this great human being personally, you truly missed out. This message is for you as much as a memory of him.

I grew up with Phillip from about first grade on. His family loved each other very much. It was apparent to all who knew him.

I remember the day I found out about what happened to him. I was driving home for Thanksgiving and learned the terrible news. In all my years as a typical boy getting into fights and behaving poorly, Phillip is the ONE kid from the neighborhood I cannot remember getting into trououble. Even as a boy, he knew right from wrong and always did right. I never heard Phillip swear, talk negatively or even disobey his parents. That may seem a strange thing to remember, but it always struck me as significant. Even as a man today, it strikes me as significant.

I often think of him and the fact we as a society have lost a superb public role model. I imagine he would have left quite a legacy had his life not been cut so short. He already left a lasting impression on this childhood friend.

Rest easy my friend, we have the watch.
