I wonder if you were related to Jacksonville Police Officer Fred Lampe who died on duty. Rest in peace Sergeant Lampe. Your bravery and dignity won't be forgotten.

Ron, I read these sentiments and I really don't know what to say, It's been 35 yrs since we kicked that door, I still smell the smoke and flesh burning when I think on it, and hear you screaming trying to get to me. It was tough,but I went on and just finished my 32nd year in Police Work. I believe I've done some good work and helped, so I hope you look down and feel your sacrifice was worth it.I keep in touch with your family and you would be so very proud your grandchildren are beautiful. I hope the Lord feels I've done a good enough job to see you again so I can thank you.

Ron,

Hardly a day goes by that I don't remember that terrible night when God took you. You are deeply missed and remembered. Hope to see you some day when we can laugh about the brotherhood we shared.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 32nd 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.

Rest In Peace

It still wrong when a person can shoot and kill a officer of the law and walk. He had a family at home and the knock at the door seems to still ring in my head. RIP and thanks for all you taught me..

"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.
