Officer DeLeon,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a LEO but for our Country as well when you served with the USAF. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was at the Sacramento memorial today, on behalf of all the children who lost their dad on that awful day 50 years ago today. It was locked up in a chain link fence, due to the vandalism that occurred last year during the riots. It made me sad that I couldn't find our father's names. I hope one day I can see the names, and I hope we all continue to heal, in love and peace.

Whatever justice your assailants faced here it will hopefully be a fraction of the justice they will receive at a later time in a different place. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

ANOTHER YEAR and still feel's like yesterday. Not a day or week goes by that you are not in my thoughts, crazy ya!. My older brother is dead, my oldest sister Pam has passed 4 months ago.. Again I am a loss for words.. I always wonder what life would be like had you been in our life, A lot of my memories are blocked out however I feel like the 9 year old that would sit in the corner of my closet in a fetal position.. and the walk back to the cars after the viewing wanting to run and hide, where?? not sure. DAD just know you are missed every day I breathe.. LOVE YOU..

It's been 46 years since we lost you. I miss you and think of you every day! It's also been hard since we lost Frankie.
So sad to watch him just slip away from us. Mark is taking your passing very hard this year. In fact he's never gotten over losing you as well as myself and Shelly too!
I just wish (all the time) that you were around to watch us all grow up. I know I was a wild child but you still loved me anyway. I love you Dad, hope Frankie is keeping you company. Thank you for watching over me and just know you're always in my heart. Pamela

Officer Deleon,

I was great friends with your son Frankie. He was a wonderful person and spoke highly of the Father that he lost when he was just a young boy. He was very proud of you and though he hit a few bumps along the way, always tried to be the man he thought his Daddy would be proud of while growing up.

The service you provided the rest of us is one that takes a special person to do. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice so that the rest of us may feel safe in our every day lives.

With nothing but the utmost respect,

Ron Mason

Dearest Sharon & Deleon family,

My name is Ron Mason and I am a good friend of Frankie's. I am so sad to hear of his passing and can imagine how terribly he is missed. I have not seen him since he and I lived on the Embarcadero in San Francisco from 1991 to 1998. I had lost touch with him as I moved back to Seattle. I remember Frank speaking of you and sorry I never had the chance to meet you. It was a very busy time for us all there, but Frank and I never missed an opportunity to go for a long run down the Embarcadero and back to then spend 2-3 hours in the gym.

Take solace in the fact that Frank and Frankie are once again together and that Frankie has finally found the peace he had been searching for for so long.

With much respect and pleasant wishes,

Ron Mason

Hi Daddy, It's the 44th anniversary of your death today. And every year I have cried. This year however I haven't because that murderous POS Pinell was killed in a prison riot. Some how I felt closure in knowing his rotten ass was dead. I still miss you so and know you can hear me when I talk to you. Thanks for watching over me every day. I'm back @ Anderson Heating here in Carson City for 2 years now. I'm doing well, you would be proud. XOXOXO

Aloha Dad, 44 years today your life was taken away from us.(De Leon Kids). I always have you in my heart. I'm still very upset about our brothers passing, Frankie. I miss him soooo much. He and I were very close throughout his living years. I have another piece of my heart missing. I am happy about the latest killing in SQ. May he ROTT in HELL. I hang my flag every August 21st. to honor all the fallen officers that day. You and your 1st born son are together now. I love you Dad. I love you Frankie. I love you Mom.

Shelly, Since yesterdays killing of the prisoner Pinell, who was connected to your dads death, I found this reflection for your dad. What you don't know is that we met a long time ago when my mom found her brother, your dad. She is Frances (Nee) Deleon. Its so crazy how people can be found. My mom and I talked about him while we heard this Pinell person was one of the 6 men that killed her brother. Now I read your brother has passed, Im sorry. I hope you read this. My name is Belinda I have left my information below. It would be nice to talk with a cousin I met but really didn't know. Thank you for reading this hope you respond.

Daddy, I still chew on my nails and eat them, sick huh? Well, sometimes things never change. I would love to talk to the newest member of the De Leon Family. So, Patricia, you can reach out to me. Never new about you. But you are loved and excepted. I love my Father and I have so much of him with me to this day. Carry a big stick and beat the shit out of him...about a boy who picked on me in Novato. Classic story which I carry today. Love you Dad :)

When I was teen it was revealed that I'm adopted and longer still till before I learned your name from my grandmother, Lee Balsley, who sent me a clipping from the Stockton Record reporting your passing and she then she told me about you, my biological dad. She cared for you a lot. Adoption didn't work out so well for me and I used to daydream (still do sometimes) about a life with you in it. From the sentiments here you were a wonderful dad.
As you could see from above it was a very big blessing you didn't stay with Lorraine! I have some photos of you from the wedding and my original birth certificate, treasures all. It has given me peace to know who I really am. I look forward to seeing you again ... in heaven.
