Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 44th 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.

Your memory will always be honored and revered as time never diminishes respect. I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

Bob or "Bobby" as your sister in law Judy calls you, we continue to remember you on the anniversary of your death (I HATE the word anniversary for something so horrible, but it is what it is). Your sister in law Judy is very involved with our Chapter and speaks of you often. It may have been 42 yrs later but she still hurts and remains proud of you and the service you gave to your community.C.O.P.S. is here not only for her but all of your family.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Arnold and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

Today on the 40th anniversary of your death, we pause and say a prayer for those who still mourn you. May God comfort them on this difficult day and all days. You never get over the pain of losing someone, you just somehow try to accept it.
Rest in peace Sir you are not forgotten.

We met your sister in law this past year and upon hearing she was a survivor made sure we recognized you at our annual candle light memories vigil last night. Thank you for your service. We will always remember you and your service.

I went through the Buffalo Police Academy with Bob in 1965. I subsequently resigned and joined the NYSP. I was working in the Niagra Falls area the night of this horrible occurence and wanted desperately to do something, but nothing was to be done. I have remembered Bob all these years, especially for his gentleness and kindness. May he rest in peace!

I am hoping one day someone might be willing to post a photograph in honor of Police Officer Robert Arnold. Thank You!

"Bobby" was my brother-in-law. I remember officers coming to our home in the middle of the night to let my husband know what happened. When I started doing volunteer work for the Rochester, NY Police Dept. I became involved in writing the officer recognition letters. I take great pride in being able to acknowledge and help give officers a thank you for, what I know personally, is a very difficult, dangerous job. It takes a very special person to take on this assignment and we own them our gratitude and prayers for their safety.

My name is Sharon Lopez-O'Connor, I am not an officer. In 1968, my young friend Richard, son of Robert was in grade school with me. We were so young and how could I than tell Richard how sorry I was. Therefore, now I would like to honor the memory of Robert Arnold....and say I never forgot you All. Remembering almost 36 years later how sad that time was. Never knowing just what to say, to the family of this very brave young Police Officer. My prayers until this very day go out to you all, and never will I forget you, and your Dad Robert.....To Son ...Richard.....time marches on but the memories will always be there. God Bless You.......Sharon Lopez-O'Connor -Very Proud Wife Of Corrections Officer-------Buffalo Public School 88......1968
