It breaks my heart to see another hero give the ultimate sacrifice! You are a true hero and will never be forgotten! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family right now. My family knows too well what you all are going through. About this time last year we lost our hero, CHP Officer John Miller. Even a year later I still can't believe it! Your law enforcement family is praying for you all! My words can not express to you my deepest sympathy and love! God bless!

My heart goes out to Deputy Sheriff Canfield's wife, children and parents. My brother was also 43, a deputy sheriff, with two children when he died from a motorcycle accident. How hard this will be for your family. You will be in my prayers. God will bless you and give you the strength and wisdom you will need through all of this. He will never leave you! Deputy Sheriff Lawrence Canfield is a hero among heros and I appreciate his service to his community, state and country.

THE MOTORCYCLE OFFICER
The Motorcycle Officer
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them
and young ones ask their parents, why the officers have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like officers of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes; you know that you are safe.
For motor officers are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again


Rest in peace brother.

Deputy Sheriff Lawrence Canfield,

Our duties as law officers present many hazards and the assignment of a motor officer is one of the riskiest. Each day is filled with calculation and decision on the streets and highways, especially when proceeding to stop a traffic violator. We don't know the actual circumstances of this incident, but we can read that the individual being stopped was not showing much regard for others on the highway. It is regretable that law officer had to die doing his duty while keeping others safe. This alone makes him a hero among heros. We shall miss him as a brother in our law enforcement family and pray we will for his own immediate family, his fellow officers and friends. To him I render a final salute.

I AM A WARRIOR

I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.
