Lord Jesus, as we watch our nation’s brave law enforcement officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the law enforcement officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]

Don, was one of the best. A cops cop and a true gentlemen. I remember our weekend in Wildwood and all the laughs we had. The trip to Atlanta with Chupa! what a blast. I remember bringing in a prisoner down to transit when the Bronx was so pact and your command was the only place left to processes. It was the first time I ran into you after your promotion and you had the desk. You refused to let me do anything and had your guys do all the work for me even after I argued. It was the only Order you ever gave me. 8) .............Your our hero Don. Miss you greatly.

Came out of the academy with Don and was assigned to the 42. Don was a cops cop, good man and an aggressive Police Officer. Specialized in getting guns off the street and was an advocate for what was right.

I have missed him since he passed. RIP

This will be the fourth Yankees Opening Day since you left us Donnie. You were a great cop and a great friend and are truly missed. I posted the following on Facebook on April 6, 2015 and it's still true today. I will be wearing that jersey and jacket today as the Yankees take on the Rays. Love you my brother. Until we meet again....

---------------------------------------------------------------

Going to the Yankees Home Opener today against the Blue Jays with Phil Rosenberg, and in doing so we will honor the memory of Don O'Leary, who passed away a little over a year ago after a long battle with cancer that was a result of his work down at ground zero after the 9/11 terror attacks. I have a lot of fond memories of Donnie, including many Yankee Home Openers. The Replacement Player delayed Home Opener of 1995, where there was a post game "mini riot" in the parking field next to the old stadium; the Home Opener of 1996, where it snowed and The Boss, George Steinbrenner, allowed all ticket holders to go to another game, and we ended up going to Dwight "Doc" Gooden's no hitter. The Home Opener of 1998, where both teams combined for 30 runs. The Home Opener of 1999 where it rained the whole game and they called it in the bottom of the 7th. The Home Opener of 2002, where Andy Pettitte got his 1,000 K. I attended so many great games with Donnie. This year , thanks to Donnie's wife Maria, I will have the honor of wearing Don's favorite Bernie Williams jersey and Yankees Jacket to the game. Donnie will be with us in spirit and we will raise a cup in his honor. Here's to a good game and a Yankee victory.

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

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Our 9/11 heroes will never be forgotten.

Rest In Peace
