SWEETHEART, ANOTHER CHRISTMAS WITHOUT HEARING YOUR VOICE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, AND ALTHOUGH I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND THE TRIBUTES PAID BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE CHP, I PREFER THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME. MY HEART JUMPS WHEN I PASS YOUR HIGHWAY 50 MEMORIAL SIGN, BUT THEN I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVED WHAT YOU WERE DOING. I THANK THE CHP FOR LETTING YOU DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO. WAIT FOR ME, I WILL JOIN YOU ONE DAY. I LOVE YOU, MOM

Brother Scott,
Yesterday, the good people of Hangtown did the right thing and sent your killer to death row. A fitting punishment for taking the life of a decent man,honorable officer, husband,son and good friend to many. I will continue to pray for all who loved you to be comforted by God's loving grace till they join you in heaven. Peace to all and God bless.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 3rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state. 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 hold your family in my heart's embrace today and pray for their solace for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

Tonight (11/30/09) EDSO, CHP, & Placerville PD were involved in a pursuit with a driver of a stolen vehicle. I was prepared to deploy spike strips at Missouri Flat Rd. & Motherlode Dr. (close to where Scott's murderer was apprehended)

Tonight's driver also swerved towards a LE Officer during the pursuit. Just a couple blocks from where I set up the driver changed his course and the pursuit went in another direction. Thankfully, the driver was eventually apprehended after another officer successfully deployed the spikes.

Tonight no one was injured including the suspect. I've been thinking about Scott this whole time. When I first lateraled to El Dorado County in 2001 Scott & I routinely patrolled El Dorado Hills on the graveyard shift. Scott always stressed officer safety and was among the most "squared away" cops I have ever worked with.

I will forever admire Scott and keep his memory with me during those times when some low-life threatens my life, the lives of my fellow officers, and the safety of the public. God Bless You, Brother. God Bless us all.

Scott,

In reading all the great passages about you it tells me that not only were you a great COP but a great person. So many of us sometimes ask ourselves why, why someone like Scott. Why does it always happens to the good people, God knows best and your job here on this earth was complete when he called you. To your family I send my my sincere condolences and may God's love and peace be with them each and everyday of their lives. In closing, please say hi to my nephew CHP Ivan Navarro who in July-2009 joined you in heaven.

Scott,
Today marks the second anniversary since you were tragically taken from us. I think about you quite often and want you to know you are remembered and not forgotten. I was going to honor you today by doing a fly over in my plane but was kept away due to scattered thunderstorms. As soon as the weather allows, that honor will be carried out. God bless you and your family.

Scott,
As you know through my prayers as a means of communication, I think of you often! I pray for your family. I know your Mom misses you terribly as we share emails. I know it has been a year already and that you would have had a birthday on Sept. 18. You have left a lasting impression on me and my family. The memories of our childhood are cherished and you will never be forgotten!

Brother Scott..Hard to believe it's been a year already and today seeing that wreath placed near the spot where you lived up to your oath and left no doubt about the man of honor you are made it seem like yesterday. I know you rest easy knowing the Blue and Gold NEVER forgets it's own so I pray all your family and friends find peace on earth till they join you in Heaven. God Bless All
