Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Another year has come and gone. Miss and love you today more than ever. I so wish you were here to talk with. There are days I just need my Dad.

Life should have been so different. I wish you could have known your children and grand children and now your great grandchildren. And now you have great great children. It has taken me a lot of years and not a day goes by I don't think of you. I seek solice knowing that you died doing a job you love. I seek love finding out many things I never knew and yes finding my sister you never knew about. You would have loved her. Another year gone but always in my heart.

I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallow place,
Alas, my name, no more my face.
“In the line of duty,” I hear them say:
My family now the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears;
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee,
I ask for all here from the past:
Dear God, let my name be the last.

I am proud to know you, my father, served your country with pride and valor. True heroes wear fatigues, combat gear, and dress uniforms and you were one of the few who served in the Army and Navy.
You accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called. As an officer of the law, you pledged to protect the community you lived in and you honored that pledge and answered that call...until that one day.

Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they shall by called the children of God.
-Matthew 5:9

I always think of you and the what if's but since Officer Pitts death I have relived the night of your death ever single day at random times. Heaven now has a other Sullivan County officer. I know you both died doing what you loved and are now patroling the streets of heaven. Thank you both for keeping your family and communities safe.

Thinking of you today as well as everyday. Life could have been so different. I just discovered that my daughter your granddaughter left a reflection . You would be so proud of her and your grandchildren. It's not fair that you were never to meet them. Its hard to believe that I am now older than you were at your time of death. I love you daddy.

Clarence, You are not forgotten brother. I have heard many stories on a regular basis from your brother Jim. He continues to serve the town with pride, as I am sure you did. I feel as if I knew you, due to all of the stories, and You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brother!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 31rst 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 dimishes respect. I pray for the solace of your family.

Rest In Peace

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Although I never had the opportunity to know you I'm certain we share a family relation. I check this website daily and each time I view your memorial. Each day that I see the name Kistner displayed I'm reminded of the sacrifice you made and inspired to do my best each day. Just know you are not forgotten.
