Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I just left the RTF as an original member and was transferred to the D.D. district 3 as a white shield. I retired in 1984. You were a young and ACTIVE guy. Eternal Rest to you J.H. I know you are with GOD.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 29th 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 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

Joe, I always told you to slow down. You may not have been 6'3", but your heart was. I will never forget carrying your casket into the church almost 23 years ago.
You are not forgotten to me or the members of the Task Force.
Until His second coming,

Joey- I remember like it was yesterday growing up together in Bayside, going to PS 203 and Cardozo HS. You always had a smile and a laugh. I remember my surprise at seeing you in the Police Academy when I was just graduating and you were just starting. You were a great guy and I haven't forgotten you.

Joey,
I remember the day you became a police officer and how proud we were of you! I remember the lecture my Dad gave you when he found out you were "on the job" (and I am sure he is giving you a lecture right now). All is well here but we miss you and NYC needs you. God bless you and your family! David
