Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Coroner Belcher,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 16th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Grandpa -
It’s hard to believe it’s been over 10 years since you’ve passed. I’m glad to see the recognition you deserve. You are truly missed by all the family. You’d be proud of the family – we’ve grown SO big, but we have all stayed close. I know you’re watching over all of us from Heaven.
Till the day we’re all together again…XOXOXOXO

Honey,
It has been a long 10 years since I last spoke with you. When you called to tell me you didn't know what time you would be home to go to a tennis match for one of our granddaughters that you might be late. You will always be in my heart and life. You would be proud of your children and grandchildren. You really would have fun with our great-grandchildren. I bet you are watching over all of them.
Oh, Yes you would be very happy that I have a garage to put the car in. I still try to have a small garden, not like you would have planted. But guess who is going to have a big garden your son Ed. I love you very much and miss you every day. Hope you and my dad and Esta's wife Melissa, and your mom and dad is having a good time with our Lord and King. Till we meet again!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
LOVE,

Grandpa,

I am so proud to be your granddaughter. We had such a special bond between us. Ten years ago seems like forever ago that my heart was shattered by your death. But I have come to realize that you died doing something that you loved to do and the night before God was just trying to prepare me. I miss our talks and sitting around outside eating our goldfish crackers, us joking around and giving Grandma a hard time, and mostly calling up to the Coroner's office to talk to Dad and hearing your voice answering," Coroner's office, Bill speaking." I will never forget the memories we shared together. Even though that it has taken all these years for you to be recognized, I still couldn't be prouder. Don't worry our family has expanded but we still remain tight and look after one another especially Grandma for you. You are greatly missed and we know that one day we will all meet you again in heaven.
Love You Always and Forever,
Wendy ( your nickname for me: Skinhead)

Thank You to all who are writing and reading these reflections. My Grandfather did make the ultimate sacrifice. Everyone that knew him will agree that September 12, 1997 he was doing what he Loved to do. He is greatly missed by his wife, children, grandchildren & great grandchildren who he never met but hear the stories of a great man that they call Great Grandpa Belcher.

Grandpa ~ Ten years have gone by since I have seen you. Friday September 12, 1997 was one of the hardest days of my life. At Age 16 I lost you. I had to be strong for my Mom, I tried not to let my emotions flow. As I sit here with the tears running down my face I want to tell you that there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you. I Miss EVERYTHING About You!!!


We All Miss & Love You!!!!
Until We Meet Again....XOXOXOXO
Love, Becky "Bec-Weck"
