JD it only seems like yesterday since you left us. I miss our daily meetings and breakfast together. I regret that I wasn't with you on that day, just maybe I could have made a difference. I know that you were not alone on that day and you knew that after the event that no further harm would come to you. Our good friend was there to hold you and to see you off to heaven. You have always been missed even to this day.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 22nd 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.

You are still loved and missed by so many, and I pray for their solace.

Rest In Peace

JD, as I sit here 22 years after we lost you, many questions go through my mind. I wonder what date you would have retired. I wonder what kind of new Blazer you would have bought, how you would have had loved seeing the girls graduate school.

You were a good man, a great father and a "Hero" Police Officer to so many people. In my life I have never met another like you. Nobody has ever gotten close to your radiant and funny personality. I have never laughed as hard as I used to with your jokes and practical jokes...I miss those days. I still remember the day you told me to get in the academy and hit the streets. I remember you telling me "It won't happen if you don't try"

In the years I spent as a full time police officer, I tried to think of how you would have handled those difficult situations. I never mistreated anybody, rather made many laugh, even as they got a ticket. Like you I went into the "Selective Traffic Enforcement Program" I worked primarily rural highways and Interstate 35W November 27 2007 my life as a police officer ended when I was severely injured helping extricate a critical MVA driver for Critical Air to Waco's Hillcrest Trauma.

I know you were with me that day, and although it changed my life forever, I do not regret anything I have done as a police officer.

On this 22nd year anniversary, know that we miss you just as it was yesterday. Recently I heard from your daughter Dannet through my Police Link page and she seems to be doing great. You would be proud Brother and although these years have passed, your valor, dedication and service to community has never been forgotten.

You were a good dad and a good friend. As I end, let me say this it was a honor to stand as your friend, and we will never forget you. Till we meet in Heaven, take care and never stop watching over each of us.

21 years is a long time to have one day still bring tears so quickly to the eyes and a sob to the throat. Never does a September 9th go by without opening my eyes, knowing the date, and knowing that I'll get through another one without him here.
Stories and memories fade and I find myself looking to other people's reflections to remind me of the laughter that followed my Dad everywhere he went. They help me close the gap of two decades and allow me to reach back in time to hear his voice and see the mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
Thank you for your thoughts for him and for those of us who loved him.

To the family and loved ones of Sgt. Daniel Bock, his fellow officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department, and most especially to Daniel:

On this the twenty-first anniversay of your tragic death, please know that you are honored and revered today and everyday.

From all the loving reflections left about you, I can see that you were an amazing man and what a grievous loss your loved ones have endured because of your brutal murder.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire. You are loved and missed.

Rest in Peace, Daniel. A body is but for a lifetime, but spirits and souls are for eternity and yours is forever part of those who call you beloved.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Daniel gave to his community and the citizens of Texas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 9, 1987.

J.D.

It has been 21 years since that terrible day, I have never forgotten. You were the inspiration that got me into law enforcement. Sadly after years of service to my community, I was injured in the line of duty last November 27 thereby ending my career completely.

I still see that smile you were known for and those jokes you told, yep I still hear. JD, I pray for you, your family and fellow comrades. I know that today you are looking down from Heaven, proud of those you knew.

Every traffic stop I made, thousands of stops, I thought of you. I know you were there always watching over me. My on duty injury was fate, but before that happened, like you I helped so many people, often the same way you did. I prided myself in being a police officer who handled situations as you did. You were a true inspiration to me, and God Bless You, your daughters, family, friends and comrades even today.

Corpus braces for another possible tragic hurricane, keep watch from above and know we here still thank you and miss you.

Good Bye My Friend O,O,

You and an officer from Tacoma died this day due to a deranged individual. It is hard when we feel justice isn't done, especially in liberal Washington state. Today we had a memorial service for a Skagit County, WA deputy who was murdered a week ago today at the hands of a seriously mentally disturbed individual. He also killed 5 others and wounded 4 more. I feel kinda callous, but I hope he gets the death penalty. The lives he has ruined and scarred are numerous. You performed a difficult service. Sometimes you get the bad guy and sometimes he gets you. Thanks and God bless. He, of course, is the true Judge and He will repay as He sees fit in His timing.

Danny was a wonderful man. You'd never know he was a cop :) On the morning I left on vacation back to Colorado..Danny was killed on a road we worked together every morning. I wish I had been there. I like to think I could have done something. He was a good Father to his daughters and had a vision of a better way of life for them and himself. Rest in Peace brother.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

JD,

20 years ago the 9th day of September 1987 you were taken from those you loved. Even after 20 years, I never hit the streets without thinking about you. With all the years gone by, not a single person who knew you has ever forgotten you. God Bless you, and your family. Many still miss you.

It is my sincerest hope that Danette and the rest of your family have found some solace and peace over the years.

I begin my shift today in your memory. Rest well, Sir. The watch if ours.

J.D.
As I patrolled my portion of Interstate 35W on your 18th anniversary, I thought hard about the things you said to me. Last week while I was assisting DPS in a high speed chase through our city, I remembered you. Each time I make a traffic stop, I think of you, Every call of a disturbance I think of you. Things have gotten harder over the time gone by, seems there is alot less respect for the badge these days, the calls are getting harder, more violent. It is what we understand and nobody else. You told me one time that there will be people who say "I know what you are saying" You said they "Dont" you were right again. I am 1 hour from my Saturday night shift and I wanted to say, J.D I did not forget you on the 9th, I was pulling a long 12 hour. I will never forget the great person you were, the smiles,the jokes, just the sense of humor you were. The pain of that dreaded day is not lessened a bit by time, I think of you everyday I put on the uniform and go to work. I thank you for inspiring me that hot day in Corpus about retesting for my license. I pray that God has been the wing over your family and comrades and that he will continue to watch them every second every day. While you are with God's many other protectors, do me favor, keep a watch over me too. Good Bye my friend. *O/O
