Reflections for Police Officer John Carroll Koppin

I was one of John’s T/A in the Academy. He was a good man. It was so long ago, but I’ll always remember that smile.

Today a Charlotte CountyPolice Officer Christopher Taylor, that just turned 23 was laid to rest after being killed by a DUI. This brought back so many emotions.I still think about you and wonder what my life would be like if you were still here with us. I became a Police Officer to honor you and finish what you started as a Police Officer. I served 21 years, although I can never accomplish the greatness I know you would have accomplished, I hope I made you proud. You are forever in my heart. I love you forever.

Thinking of the Koppin family. I graduated from high school the year that John passed away. I entered the DROP program this month after 25 years of chasing bumpers. Time knows no bounds. I'll enjoy my benefits ! (If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans....Thank you F.R.S.) Continue to rest in peace Mr. John.

Jeff,
Pam, Dylan, and I hope all is well. Please feel free to contact us. I also lost my dad in August of 2009 (34 years F.H.P. Ret. Major). We have some catching up to do.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 27th 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 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.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hold your family, especially your mother, in my heart's embrace today.
