Marshal Roy Woofter,
You were a cousin and shared your name with my grandfather. You died doing a job most in this world don't want to do. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 98th 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.

Marshal Woofter,
I met your great niece on a call this weekend and heard your story. I am on lunch break and wanted to see your memorial. After hearing about your commitment to this job and the human race, I hope that we can carry on the tradition that you have established. Thank you for your service and dedication to this job. Your family and the Law Enforcement community are proud to call you a brother. Rest in peace and we will carry on to honor your sacrifice.

Your last words were ones of encouragement and forgiveness. That legacy is one that cannot be matched by any amount of money or possessions. You left no bitterness in your final hours. May we all take your actions as our example. The memorial to you in Roswell will always be there and the fine man that you were will always be remembered. Your memorial stone in Albia, Ia. also leaves a short remembrance, "Asleep In Jesus Roy Woofter He died a martyr to the cause of temperance and Christian citizenship." It was worth all the effort and grief.
