Yesterday would have been two years that you would have been my brother, officially. Even though it never happened I still consider you my brother and I always will. We all miss you more than I could ever put into words. I think about you everyday and wish you were here to tell me a joke or say some off the wall thing to make me forget all my worries.
Never forgotten.

The days go by so quickly...thoughts of you stay forever. Always hoping to wake up and have things be different; my life back the way it was, since this dream is all I have I will hold onto it tight with both hands.
Missing you and Loving you always

Dave,
2 years have gone by and you are still missed as much today as you were this day in 2009. Kelly is on her way up to your mom and dads with the gang from Troop F Catskill this morning. God Bless

Dave,
It's been two years from when the NYSP notified me of your death. Just as we were back then, we remain here for your family and Kellie. Your brother and sister in law have been involved in our Chapter and while they still hurt and miss you, they are now giving support and guidance to the new survivors. Today and always you, your family and co workers remain in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is so heavy; especially with starting a new year again without you. Some days it feels like the last 14 months have flown by and others it feels like im standing still. Not a day has gone by that your not the first thing I think about when I wake up; my heart breaks over and over when I realize it's true and not a dream that your gone. I miss you so much and hope with all my heart that you continue to know how much I love you...and always will.

Dave,
Kelly is at your parents today with a bunch of the guys from the barracks. I hope your looking down on them and smiling. I know they are telling some good stories. Can't believe a year has gone by. God bless Dave. We all miss you. See you when I see you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the first 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.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Thank you for serving in the military as well.

Rest In Peace

Dave,

Saw your picture hanging on the Wall of Honor at the Academy this week and it is just sticking in my mind. It was an honor and privilege to work with you, but beyond that, it sure was fun. From sitting night desk (cash cab!) to wrestling with a suspect ("I can do this dance all night long"), thanks for the good times.

Missed you so much today..so hard to live without that grin...missed how you would tease Steve by signing your card from your favorite son... Steve keeps you alive... He bought me a blue spruce tree today to make a garden to put the flag pole by. Someday I can have his children help decorate Uncle David's tree. You would have been the best Uncle and you would have been a great Dad....We laughed today as we know you were messing with printers at Uncle Chris and with Steve's printer...Oh how we miss you.... Love you and think of you every minute of our day...xoxoxo

Thinking of you a lot lately. I was in Washington DC today. I went to the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. This is the place where you will have your name engraved. This is the place where I can take my kids to show them what a hero you are. I will always talk of Uncle Dave with the utmost respect, but more importantly with a smile on my face. I know that is the way you would want it. Love you
Bud!
