On this Memorial Day I give thanks to a man that was a brother to my father. Mr. Clark or as my dad would call him, “Skippy,” lives on in memory and in the stories that my father still tells me. Amazingly at how young I was I remember him playing with me at one of the FOP softball tournaments at Grant Park. All give some and some give all! Love you and thank you!

I graduated from St. John's Lutheran School in 1983. Julie was a few years behind me. But I remember her from cheerleading. All these years later, I remember my family looking at you Julie at the funeral of your father. I will never forget it. My Parents. Len and Dolores Heldt. Cared about your family and my Dad remembers when the new school was built. Saw your Dad in Church as well as your family. God Bless your father all these years. He is not forgotten. God Bless. My son is now a Chicago Firefighter. Rest Easy Officer Clark.

I was working in the news business in Chicago the night you were killed. I remember how senseless it was. One can say that about many fallen officer cases, but something about yours seemed especially senseless. "300 pounds of rage living in a ton of garbage," the Sun-Times headline said the next day about the person who did this. I now live not far from the crime scene. The neighborhood has changed a lot since then. Many houses from that era are gone, including that one in the 1400 block of Lill. I remember the exact address and cross myself, thinking of you, every time I pass by.

I can't believe mrs Clark that your husband has been gone for 20 years. I can remember the day like it was yesterday. I went to st John's and you were friends with my mother. I have often thought of you and your children and wondered how you were. You should stop in at St. John's for church one day, I am sure many people would love to see you. My brother bob was friends with your son. It looks like you and your family have stayed close and your love and warm smile is going strong. Gods blessings to you and your family for twenty more years.

Grandpa, I know I never met you, 'but I still feel like you're part of my life. The funny and crazy stories I've heard about you make me laugh and wish I did meet you. I've heard you were a great husband and an even better dad. I've seen pictures of every sport you played and never heard the end of how good you were. I've been told you'd love me for what I've accomplished athletically in my life and that you would never miss any of my hockey games, baseball or basketball games. I have always wished I would have met you and it's a shame you had to have your life taken away. Thank you for serving the City of Chicago as a police officer, even being well liked by everyone you've ever met is a big accomplishment. Love you Grandpa, RIP (EOW 4/3/1986) Grandpa I am 17 now will always love you Richie

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 23rd 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.

Rest In Peace, Richard.

I hold your family in thought and prayer today. You must be very proud that your son has carried on your legacy of protecting and serving.
