Reflections for Police Officer Paul Robert Salmon
Paul was one of my dearest friends and truly my brother from another mother. So many fond memories growing up and being complete idiots at times as young adults. Paul was ALWAYS there for me when I needed it! We would struggle to pay the bills sometimes for our apartment but it never went past that. We always just had fun together and didn’t worry about the life crap unless it was something real and then we were there for each other. My coping mechanism is to ignore certain feelings, but I think about him all the time and just wanted to put it out there that I miss him badly and he was amazing! I miss you brother! Thanksgiving always brings it all back for me and I find comfort in knowing you are resting easy! Truly love and mis you!

Hello Paul,
I wanted to tell you I wear a memorial pin on my uniform every day & I think of you often, especially your mom and your beautiful family. My son's last day working at Target in Gilbert was today. He told me he noticed a Vazquez Pride academy shirt on a young lady. It was your sister wearing it proudly. I wish I would have had the chance to hug her and tell her how much I admire and respect you as one of my finest recruits. I miss you Paul...Travel Safe My Brother, wishing your Mom a Happy Mother's Day - Very Soon You Will Comfort Her Heart....
Regards,
Rolando

Your heroism and service is honored today, the fourth 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 solace for all those who love and miss you. Bot the pain and the pride are forever.
Rest In Peace

You always had a joke or something silly to do to make someone laugh. Sad to know you're gone. Love ya man.
