Reflections for District Ranger Gale H. Wilcox

Ranger Wilcox, you left this world on the day I came into it. I hope that I filled the legacy you left well enough to make you proud of our profession. It has been 64 years since you were taken from us. American law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 24 years of law enforcement service.

You will always be my hero, even long before finding this website. You have been in my heart ever since the day I lost you. The best Father a son could hope for. Miss you still.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 52nd 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.
