Officer Dean, two days ago another Ohio Police Officer was taken from his family and community. On this 7th anniversary of your death, I just wish to acknowledge your sacrifice and dedication and to thank you for welcoming Officer Cottrell to his new assignment as I'm sure you did.

God Bless you for your service and may you forever rest peacefully, Brother.

It's not what we see or what we have to do at times that makes this job difficult. It's acting in a manner where we always honor and respect the men and women who fallen before us.

You are missed brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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.

Time never dimishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered.. I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you for I know the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace

Officer Dean, you are not forgotten and you are a hero. My prayers are with your family that they remain safe and not be reunited with you until the time is right. I have a feeling however that you're always with them anyway.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

For Jarod, his family, and his department- I will see you at OPOTA in a few weeks for the memorial service. I wish it were not necessary but it is an honor to salute you. My brothers and I will have the privilege of firing the 21-gun salute for you, my friend. Be at Peace.

A year has passed and some will say that it feels like only yesterday that you were here. For others, especially those that love your dearly, it has felt like a lifetime since they saw your smile, felt your touch and heard your voice. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. You have not been forgotten.

At this time, 0215, one year ago, we could have stood on our cities borders shook hands and had a cup of coffee. Regretfully that didn't happen and you left us three hours later by giving your life serving and protecting the Boston Heights Community. I'm proud of you. Rest in Peace Bro.

Your niece says hello. Thanks for showing me the way.
