Reflections for Patrolman Ernest H. Cassidy

Ernest Cassidy is most likely my great grandfather. He left behind a window and several children one of which was my grandmother Margaret Cassidy-Kilpatrick. His son Tommy/Thomas ? Cassidy joined the Chicago PD and retired around 1970. My uncle Tommy was a big influence to me in my late teens as I and my best friend Dave M. Went on to have long careers in LE, both retiring from different agencies in Florida some years ago. RIP Ernest, your great nephew you never got to meet. Mike M.

Officer Cassidy,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe as a member of the 26th “Yankee” Division fighting the Germans during World War I.

our heroism and service is honored today, the 90th 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 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.

Rest In Peace.
