Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Rowe,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served with the USMC in Vietnam. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest in Peace

I ask one thing - that in still, far-off days,
Someone who knew me should in their daily rounds,
Suddenly pause, caught by some sight or sound,
Some glance, some phrase, some trick of memory's ways
which brings me to mind, then I shall wait,
eager with hope, perhaps to hear -
“how great if he were with us still!”
And then at the end, all that I wish for is just -
“he was my friend!”

From “A Soldier's Epitaph” by David McNicholl

Uncle Gary: As a baby you would come over just to play with me. One of my favorite pictures is of me on your shoulders as a baby. I grew up loving you and thinking I was your favorite neice! I miss you every day.

I want to tell you that you have a beautiful, daughter and a handsome son. I call them brother and sister and love them with all my heart. Lisa is an intelligent, confident lady that I am extremely proud of and Gary Jr. is small like you, has a big heart and is always making us laugh. I know they were the light of your life. Please know that they have been loved. They have become wonderful adults that you would be proud of.

God Bless you!

Your Favorite Neice!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 29th 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 diminishes respect and you will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today. Rest In Peace.

Gary, I started at the Indiana State Prison in March 1980 and worked with you in the Guard Hall where we used to drive Capt. Kozatek crazy by yelling back and forth from gate 3 and gate 4. You were small in statue but large in heart and guts. There aren't many of us old timers left at ISP but you name comes up ocassionally and it is always with fond memories and respect. God bless you and we'll see you again.

I remember when we were two young go-getters at USP Lompoc, Ca. I recall your transfer to MCC San Diego to be near your children. I still smile when I think of you wearing those blue tinted glasses that made the lieutenants mad. See you at the EOW.

Gary, when you and I were working in cell block C at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, I knew you had what it took to be a great Correctional Officer, that my friend is what cost you your life. You were fair, ran a secure cell house, and the folks you were charged with watching couldn't stand an officer that "Worked by the Rules" It has been many years since I last had the privledge to work with you, but what you taught me, I use everyday. Rest in Peace my friend, those of us you left behind still think of you and still respect you.
