Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Happy Anniversary, Mick. Would have been 21 years today. So much time has passed since I saw your beautiful smile, or heard your silly laugh. Missing you always. Our world has become a scary place....so many LEO's killed already this year....and so many families left behind to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.

Love you,
Stacy

Another year gone by without you, Mick. It just is hard to believe it has been 18 years. Where does time go? One thing is certain, though...you are forever young in my mind. I miss your smile and your contagious laughter so much!!! Nothing will ever fill the void you left.

We are all missing you and remembering the fun times. It helps to remember the laughter. So many of our family and friends reminded me today of the fun we had together and the fun they had with you before our time together. You knew how to make everyone laugh and you lit up a room with your handsome face and fun personality. You were one of a kind, no doubt about it. I am forever grateful for the time we had together, albeit way too short.

Until we meet again...all my love always,
Stacy

Hey Michael,
Yet another year passes by and still you are not here. I often think of our last weekend together and it warms my heart to remember how happy you were with the decisions you had made and how excited you were to be moving on with your life. I hadn't seen you so happy in such a long time! But..God had another plan for you! I'm glad you were able to make your rounds and see everyone before you left. And the card that Ma' received from you after you died was the best "gift" ever...It said, "Thank you for showing me the way to the Lord". It was so surreal!
Anyway...we miss you more than words can tell!
Until we meet again......XOXO!

Mick, with the events over the past few days, memories of your viewing and funeral are once again very vivid in my mind's eye. This one hit close to home, especially because its Floyd's department and his District.

Please take Hector under your wings...like you, he left his family way too soon, and it makes me mad when I think about it. He left behind a 14 month old little boy, and his wife is expecting triplets in June. So unfair that he left them too soon. I can't get them out of my mind and its all I can think about, especially since we face the viewing and funeral over the next two days.

He was only 31. Just barely a year older than you when you were taken from us way too soon. Some things I guess I will never make sense of.

Until we meet again....love you and miss you always.

Love, Stacy

Happy Birthday Michael,
We miss you terribly and wish you were here! I'm not sure how it works up there but keep an eye out for Kenny Santucci, his birthday was yesterday and maybe you two can celebrate together. Remember Joe from Newark? Kenny is his nephew, a very nice guy and comes from a very loving family too.

Hey Michael,
Maura and Kelsey came from California for a visit. We went to the cemetary and the site yesterday and left flowers. Kelsey asked so many questions about you and said that her Dad still gets very upset when he talks about you. We all miss you terribly. I hope you're okay...let me know somehow. Until we meet again...XOXO

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 17th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I can see from reading the reflections that you are missed and loved by so many, especially Stacey. I hold your family in thought and prayer today.

Rest In Peace.

It's been alot of years since your passing but I will never forget your influence on my decision to make law enforcement my career. It was you who made a bunch of Class 1's stand at attention for inspection. It was you who stated you don't have friends here you have acquaintance's. It is that demeanor that I carry to this day. BUT, you also showed me the "off-duty" side also. No matter where your story comes up I let them know I was proud to know you. I'll be visiting your resting place soon, continue to keep a watch over all your "acquaintance's"!

I was surprised to see that I had never left a reflection for you since your name
and picture are familiar to me. Many years have passed since you blessed us
with your presence, but time has not diminished your service nor sacrifice.

Mick, as has been the case for the last 16 years, today was a very difficult day. Quite frankly, I'm glad the night is nearing an end. I still have a really hard time thinking that it has been 16 years since I last saw your beautiful smile or heard your silly jokes, or heard your infectious laughter. I miss you. We all miss you. You'd be amazed at so many things that have happened and changed over the course of the past 16 years. Life is so different without you and I often wonder how I've gotten where I am today since you left us here on Earth, but I know you are watching over me in everything I do, and I will continue to walk with pride, just as you always taught me. Thinking of you and missing you more than words can describe...

Love you,
Stacy

Mickey and Family, My name is James Armstrong I met Mickey when I was 18 years old just out of high school. I enlisted in the NJ Air Guard Security Forces Squardron. Mickey was my immediate supervisor. My very first day on the base Mickey had me shooting an M-16 rifle wih little or no instructions at all, clearly a violation of the rules. I spent alot of time with Mickey in the Military. I emulated, respected and looked up to him. I knew after spending alot of time with Mickey that i wanted to become a cop. I was deeply affected by his tragic passing. I was shocked. This was just not the way Mickey was supposed to go. I think of him and his family often. Mickey was well liked and well respected in the Military. A true leader always ambitious and ready to teach and train. I have never forgotten Mickey and I would like to think that some of his teachings have shaped me as a person and a police officer. I will never forget his laugh or his smile. His personality was infectious. I never really knew what to write. I am confident that Mickey touched the lives of many who are unaware of this site set up to honor him. May god bless Mickey and his family.

I am vacationing in Sea Isle this week (July 2007), and I was looking at odmp to see if any of the shore towns in this area ever suffered the tradgedy of losing an officer.

Unfortunately, I found several. Thank you Officer Cullinane for your service. To Officer Cullinane's family and to Sea Isle City PD my deepest regrets.

I had the privilege to work with Mickey in 1985. I was often partnered with him and he was always happy to share his knowledge and insight with me. He was a bright, competent officer who had a great sense of humor. I was very happy to see that the Department has included his badge number on the Department's patch, honoring his memory.
