My dearest grandfather Manzel:
It is with great love that I give my thanks to you, for who I am. I am so thankfull for my mother, your daughter Leola, and your wife, my grandmother Marzette. Your small family of 4 are truly a legacy for my family. Though I served law enforcement through science, (crimenalistic lab), It was a feeling of satisfaction to be involved when science brought justice. As you surly know, I have been in communication "hopefully" with our Manzel family in Germany. If this is through your intervention, Thank you.
Life as we know it on this earth, is as a passing day. Linda and I are enjoying the autumn of our lives and anticipate a joyous reunion with you and our family. On this occasion I extend gratitude and love, your grandson,David M

My dear Grandpa, Charles Manzel, I am so happy to see the nice comments posted in this reflection page. Though I've not met you in this life, I am looking forward to meeting you soon. I have also walked the streets and alleys you did, and felt the hair on the back of my neck rise as I've rattled doors, some which I'm sure you rattled. I also was an Officer for Ogden City Police Dept. Grandpa, I am looking forward to the day we can visit, and compare tales. I love you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 91rst 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 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.

Your family is beautiful and you leave a wonderful legacy. Rest in peace.. until we meet.

I am sitting in the Family History Center in Ogden, Utah doing research on our Manzel Family and I found this sight and wanted to write a tribute to you. I never had the opportunity to know you in this life. I remember the stories told to me by your son, my Grandfather and my Dad, your Grandson. My oldest son looks like you! I am doing research about our family so that I can know you and your parents and your family because I know that someday we will meet. I am proud of our family name, I hope you are proud of me. Till we meet, Love, Carole

I visited Ogden, Utah once while on vacation. While visiting the ODMP website, your memorial page came up. When I saw that you were from Ogden, I wanted to leave a reflection on your honor. The circumstances behind your death are truly tragic and very sad. It is very angering, even after all these years. Thank you for your sacrifices and for serving. You did not die in vain. You will always be remembered. God's peace be with you.
