I knew Dale and his wife through Pct. 5. Dele would vist the office frequently and on occasion go to lunch with us. I was privileged to have spent time with his wife, during a conference, I attended with members of Pct. 5. Dale had a contagious laugh and a great smile. He never met anyone that he did not reach out first, to shake hands. I sincerely wish his beautiful wife and now grown son, well. I moved on with life as did everyone, but Dale shall remain a positive image in the life of each and every person who had the privilege to meet him.

I sit here and wonder where the time went. And even though I am long gone and forgotten, D.D. never will. There hasnt been a day gone by that the events of that day dont go through my head and the ones we shared a laugh with are gone. God Bless.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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 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.

Rest In Peace.

IN MEMORY OF
DALE DAVID GEDDIE
August 19, 1960 - June 7, 2006

"Well Done Good and Faithful Servant"

We miss his big lopsided grin,
His dry sense of humor,
We miss his love and thoughtful ways,
His sparkling eyes of blue.
He wanted to help people and be the
knight in shining armor.
He wanted to follow his father's footsteps,
being a true and faithful law officer.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us this
wonderful son for nearly 46 years.
Thank you that our last words
together were "I love you."
Thank you, Jesus, for your saving grace
that Dale knew so well.
And thank you most of all that we will be
reunited again one day.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
