Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My mother in law Evangelina Morales A.K.A. "Keeny" passed away Sept 9 2019 she joined her Brother Jose Louis&Sara in Heaven. My mother in law always shared with me the stories of her brother. He was the type of person to give you the shirt off his back to help you. I would drive&attend the LAPD memorials with my mother&father in law. Everytime we attended she would always say to me "Augie you have a great uncle".

As I read different reflections from friends i've lost in my years of service I came across this page.
It was truly sobering to see this detective with my same exact name - rank - the the year in which he passed was 10 yrs before I was born.
Life has a way of showing us things that can cause deep reflection.
Since reading Detective Castellanos story and all who has known and worked with him I find myself honored to share the same name & rank of someone who touched many in a positive way.
Rest in Peace ~

Officer Jose Castellanos and I worked PM Watch uniform
patrol in the Newton Street Division in the early months of 1952. He was, without a doubt, the best partner I ever worked with. He was dedicated to the job as all officers should be. He went to the Gang Detail and I went to the Newton Street Vice Unit. We never worked together again but saw each other frequently while at work until his untimely death in 1959. I saw one of his daughters at the Annual Memorial at Parker Center for officers killed in the line of duty several years ago. She was glad to meet someone who had know her father on the job.

RIP Jose

Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such incidents & our comfort is the reassurance that He will judge the guilty. May it also comfort his family to know that, though it's been many years, they did not grieve alone; and he will always be remembered and honored for his sacrifice.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends and all the members of the Los Angeles Police Department. We were made safer by his service and we all suffer their tragic loss. The family of Detective Castellanos deserves our appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifice. No greater love has a man than the will to give his life for another.
