It's been 9 years my friend. Your memory is just as fresh today as it was 9 years ago. I really wish you could see the PD today. LT it has come so far!! New building, about to build another building, nice vehicles, 3D laser scanners. Good Lord we're about 3 steps away from a sci-fi movie! I just wish you were here to participate. I know you would love to have seen the progress. Miss you bro.

Dear Brother, I sure could use you about now, really two years ago. You would have niped my troubles in the butt before I they ever got started. Adam is so much like you I guess I will have to start to listening to him now. He tried to tell me and I would not have it. But you know what he was right. Adam and Sharon have become my rock now that you are with Jesus, at least your ears get to rest. :0) can not say that about Sharon and Adams ears. You married a wonder girl when you got Sharon. Oh Lord I wish you could see Cassidy, thank the Lord Adam was the first born. Cassidy is growing up into a beautiful young lady so Adam will have to keep a eye on the boys.....but I am sure Cassidy could give them a good whipping if needed. Then they better look out for the rest of the family. I would not have anything to whip by the time Sharon, Adam and the Pope boys got a hold of them, but you could bet I would be on my way there.
Anyway I just want to tell you how much I Love You and Miss you.

We did it sweetheart, there will be a law called the Dexter Holcomb Law requiriing all School Bus Drivers in the state of Alabama to take a yearly physical and it be reported to each Board of Education. Maybe it will prevent someone else from giving their life as you did. We love you and miss you....

Your heroism and service is honored today, the fifth 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.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace and I thank them for sharing their devotion to you through their reflections.

Rest In Peace

Well, today is the 4th Father's Day without you. We miss you so much. I know you wouldn't want us to grieve for you, but we are only human and my arms ache for you. I can't wait till we're together again and I can feel those big strong arms around me again, telling me you love me. You would be so proud of the kids: Adam has made a fine Police Officer and Cassidy is such a beautiful young lady. Rock our baby and kiss him for me. I will love you eternally!!

Hello big brother, it's been a long time.
I just want to say how much I miss you and mom. Coming home this afternoon it was so nice and warm, beautiful sunshine, and I long to visit you or mom, my world seems so empty now.
I pray and hope each day as I drive from work that I have done you and mom proud.
Cynthia and I tried to take care of mom the way you wanted us to, we did everything together and never got upset or maded a quick decision, mom, Cynthia and I always agreed to what mom wanted done and we carried out her wishes. Now she is with you and God, right where she belongs.....she never could get over loosing you. As much as I knew she loved us girls, you were her first born, and her only son..her heart longed for you. I miss and love you both so much....I pray you are able to feel the love everyone had for the both of you, but not the hurt, for one day I will see you again.
Please tell Daddy I miss him too, and I would love to hold his big strong hands again. I Love you All.

I can't believe it's been 4 years since God called you home and yet it seems like an eternity since you held me. You are and will always be my soulmate and the best Daddy in the world. Love you Baby!

Today would have been your 50th Birthday. I had been planning this day, since you turned 45. Black balloons, "over the hill" banners and all kinds of stuff. I was really gonna make your face turn red. Instead, you celebrate in Heaven today, Baby. I miss you every single minute of everyday. The Kids are growing up so fast. You would be so proud of both of them. I love you!!!!
