Sergeant Smith, MY GOD, when any of us would have been enjoying (or struggling with) retirement, you were still working and it took this animal two blows with an axe to finally kill you. YOU are the epitome of tough and the truest example of hero.

Your murderer was hanged, justice was served, but that did not bring you back. I have no doubts that you are patrolling the streets of Foster to this day, you proved that you will NOT give up.

I pray that your descendants know of your courage and celebrate it and honor you.

God Bless and may your eternal rest be EVER peaceful, Brother.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

First and foremost, I cannot help but be awed by Town Sgt. Smith and the efforts he put forth at the age of 83. To think that I dread working another 10 or so years, into my 60s is almost embarrassing after seeing this.

Secondly, I feel that December 27 is now, in my opinion, a day of celebration in knowing that someone as low as the murderer of Sgt. Smith paid the ultimate price for his crimes.

Town Sgt. Smith, this is the 181st anniversary of a tragic and heinous crime. Someone who was of no use to society as it was, compounded his uselessness by murdering a brave soul such as yourself. You sir, on so many levels, are a true hero.

God Bless and I pray you are resting peacefully, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and seventy-seventh 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 wenty-seventhas 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.

Town Sergeant Smith, I don’t know if I’ll even make it to 83 and here you were still enforcing the law. I admire your courage and tenacity and mourn your murder. There is little question that you were a remarkable man and I’m sure in the 174 years since your murder, I’m sure the Foster Police Department has worked to maintain such amazing standards within it’s ranks.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
