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.

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.

Sarah, thanks for sharing a daughter's devotion to her beloved father. You are in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace

Just stopped by Sgt. Cole's site and my thoughts turned to you also, as January is not far away. Keep the peace brother and save a spot at the table for the rest of us.
Until we meet again rest in peace.

Big Gordon,
I've thought of you every day I can remember for the last 26 years. Wish you were here. Love to you always.

Commander Lincoln,
My siblings and I would appreciate anything you have to offer concerning our father. I live in the Seattle area; perhaps I'll look you up at the PD?

To everybody,
It means a lot to us to be able to read your reflections. Thank you all for visiting this site!

On the 25th anniversary of Officer Bartel's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Officer Bartel is not forgotten.

Mr. Mete,

I would really appreciate any photos you are willing to forward to me. I am planning a trip to Kodiak in the near future but this would be great in the mean time.

Thanks again.

Big Gordon,
Thinking of you, as are many others. Wish I had the chance to know you better, as my last memory was of us arguing over a stick of gum... sorry.
Love you,

To Officer Bartel's family members: I live in Kodiak and if you all would like some photos of your dad's memorial plaque, the park and the street sign in his name, please feel free to email me and I will take some pictures and email them back to you. I drive down your dad's road everyday and always look at the memorial stone. I would be glad to do this. We have not forgotten your father's sacrifice for this community.
