Dear patrolman Hyde,
Id just like to say thank you. I one day hope to be a police officer. Men and women like you who give their lives to protect others are my heroes. I look up to you. I hope your life(or afterlife) is good in heaven. Thank you for your service.

Officer Hyde:
Your legacy lives on, not only in the halls of the Amsterdam Police Department, but throughout our city as well. You're the only police officer we've ever lost, but even one is too many. Thank you for your service.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 118th 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.
Rest In Peace

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.
I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.
God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.
...Gone, but never Forgotten....
