Dear Uncle, I knew you were with me in spirit when I saved an officers life from being beaten to death. I could feel a presence and your words. I was born after your passing. Your spirit stills lives on. My brother, your nephew, David, named his son after you. Your namesake is an Attorney, as was your brother, my father, he incorporated Lomita California and became the first City Attorney. We will meet someday.

I was a young police officer in Ontario next to Montclair working that night and will never forget it. It was a disgrace that the suspect was not given the death penalty and virtually no time,.

Rest In Peace Officer Farthing. I was an officer in a city next door to Montclair 20 years after your senseless death. I was close friends with Montclair Officers at the time and heard about your death. I wish I could have been there at that time to back you up. We need to protect each other as police officers.

It's been 56 years and you are still not forgotten.

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 year 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

Officer 11169

January 15, 2012

I was a new officer ( on two months)in a city next door to Montlair when the officer was killed. My recollection is that he was killed at the scence of inside disturbance. his back was by one or two reserve offier/s who could not or would not fight to help him The officer was oversome physically by a 18 year old punk who got off not because of a lack of warrant, but because the proscutor chose to pursue first degree murder charges which required premeditation at that time instead of a lesser offense that he could prove. Fate deetermined that my path crossed with the murderer when I saw him commit traffic violtions- he got more for this then killing a cop. This case haunts me -I only wish that I was there to help him at the time he was attacked. Officer Farthing was a decent guy who was let down by a lack of self defense training and real back up. May his murderer rot in Hades.

No fellow Southern California law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Came across you as one of the featured officers when I signed on. Looking at your picture told me to come to your page. You have not been forgotten and are a true hero. Thank you for your service to law enforcement. The decision in your case to let the individual off is a slap in the face of all that loved and cared for you. I know from my own personal loss, if the indvidual would have lived that took my sons life, well, he would still have lost his and we will leave it at that. Continue to watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol.

The jury box must have contained only IDIOTS when the decision to let your killer walk free was made. You paid the ultimate price in the performance of your duties and I Salute you. The dirt bag who committed this crime will be tried once again in a higher court. Be sure that justice will be served.

RIP
