Our dear cousin Anton,

It’s been 60 years since your tragic death. My father William C. Kranz Jr., 91 years old, speaks fondly of you and always tells us stories when you guys were young. My brother Billy is your Godchild and he was less than 2 yrs old when you died. My brother John has your name as his middle name. My maternal grandmother passed away on March 7th also and my sister and great niece were born on March 7th. We remember you and pray for you in Heaven every night. Rest In Peace Anton Valentine Lehr.

Uncle Anton. We never met in person. But I have met you through your brother Richy. Your influence on him has made him the best dad I could ever ask for. Thanks until we meet.

Anton, I still remember meeting you at your cousin's house when I was 16. You were a mighty oak in uniform. As a young teen,your dad taught me how to go clamming in Kings Park, NY. Four years after your passing I joined NYPD and shortly after, my brother, Dennis did too. Throughout our careers we were always aware of carbon monoxide leaking into the radio car. The window stickers, reminding to keep window cracked, that were subsequently placed on all the radio cars, are a direct memorial to you to this day. May you rest in eternal peace Anton.

Policeman's 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done...,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.

It has been much too long since your passing, that NYPD has finally accorded you the honor you so greatly deserve. Now you are listed amongst those that have gone before you, with honor.
I never met Anton , but am friends with a family member. I remember the day that tragedy struck. In the following years, I too became a member of NYPD. I always kept a window opened in the radio car, remembering the senceless death of Anton.
Rest in peace, Anton.

Patrolman Lehr, it matters not how you were taken from this life, you gave it in the performance of your duty and your family felt the loss.

No doubt, you are now on watch as a Guardian Angel who, when we are sitting in our cruisers and begin to feel a bit light headed, or forget to open the window a crack, gently nudge us and whisper a gentle warning in our ear, and save our lives.

God Bless you and Rest in Peace.
