Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I thank you for your service to the great state of Texas and I am honored to have you as my Great Great grandfather. My father, David, was a correctional officer in Huntsville during the 1980s for a short time. I was honored to have known your son, J.T. Sims, my Great grandfather for almost 18 years before he past and I knew that he had missed you everyday of his life since he was 7 years old on the day you past. I was a corrections officer for two years and a military police officer for 9 years. So I geuss we tend to follow in our parents footsteps. Not to mention I just found out I inherited your curly red hair.

Officer Syms,
On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Texas. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary year 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.
