Reflections for Reserve Deputy Lloyd G. Constantine
Reserve Deputy Constantine,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe as a member of the 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment fighting the Germans during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
Airborne All The Way!

Rest in peace Reserve Deputy Constantine. You were a brave soul. I was wondering if you were related to actor Michael Constantine.

You were the first husband to my cousin, Marjorie Imes. While you were divorced years before your untimely death, I still thank you for your service as a family member, both blue and blood!

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

50 Years ago, tonight, a few minutes after midnight, we lost Lloyd to that unfortunate poor timing mentioned in my last reflection. 50 Years that I have lived with that memory, 50 years that I hope I have been worthy of being spared the same fate. May Lloyd's memory not fade with time. Never to be forgotten.........................................

49 YEARS AGO, LLOYD AND I WERE ON ROUTINE PATROL WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER T-BONED OUR PATROL VEHICLE, ROLLING IT OVER. IN A STARK CONTRAST, LLOYD WAS KILLED INSTANTLY WHILE I SUFFERED LITTLE MORE THAN LACERATIONS FROM FLYING GLASS AND WHERE THE SEATBELT WENT THROUGH MY UNIFORM PANTS AT MY GROIN AS I ENDED UP HANGING UPSIDE DOWN FROM MY SEAT BELT. THE IRONY IS THAT IF WE HAD NOT BEEN AT THAT EXACT PLACE AT THAT EXACT TIME THE DRUNK DRIVER WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH STORE FRONT! LLOYD WAS ONE OF THOSE RESERVE DEPUTIES WHO YOU COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON TO DO THE JOB CORRECTLY. IN A FURTHER IRONY, BEFORE GOING ON THE JOB FULL TIME, I TOO SERVED AS A RESERVE DEPUTY AND KNOW HOW DEDICATED THESE PEOPLE SERVE WITHOUT PAY. NOT A COLD RAINING DAY GOES BY THAT MY BACK DOESN'T END UP REMINDING ME OF THAT INSTANT WHERE THE WORLD LOST A GOOD MAN. TO THOSE WHO SERVE.....THANK YOU AND BE SAFE.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th 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 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.
Rest In Peace.

No fellow Los Angles County law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.
Deputy Constantine, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace

Deputy Constantine, it's been 42 years since you were so tragically taken from this life on your 42nd birthday. It's a sad irony. Why on Earth you were working on your birthday, I can't figure out, but you knew better and made that small sacrifice which led to a huge, sad sacrifice. If there was ever an example of selflessness, it's you and I salute you for it.
I can only hope and believe that the drunk who killed you found justice, no matter what form that justice may have taken.
Thank you, may God bless you and all those you left behind and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
