Reflections for Sergeant Owen T. Farley
I echo the words of officer Zambito. However as an amateur genealogist with many relatives in the Salt Lake area of Utah, I am perhaps a little more interested than some.
I am English and live in Derby in the United Kingdom. I have known about my American relatives for quite some years, but it was only today that I came across the story of officer Farley and I was stunned to read that a relative of mine - he was a 3rd cousin twice removed - had been shot in the course of his duties. As you will appreciate I found his story both fascinating and sad, even after all these years.
May I extend my sympathies to Officer Farley's relatives and descendents.

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.
God Bless

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 51rst 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.
