Your heroism and service is honored today, the 5th 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Rest In Peace.

I can see by the look that you had during your picture that you were indeed dedicated to your family, job, and the people of Puerto Rico. Society will always love what you have done for their safety and protection. Indeed Puerto Rico has many heroes and many police officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty, but don't worry brother, your sacrifice did not go in vain.

To your wife and children I know that god is building them comfort, peace, and tranquility and that you will always be with them forever. Your sacrifice will never go unnoticed. Your daddy is and forever will be a hero.

El sacrificio de un Boricua cuando cumple con su deber, es el sacrificio de todo el pueblo.

Hoy te quiero recordar

Dentro de varios días se cumple un año de tu muerte. Aún duele mucho no tenerte aquí entre nosotros. Nunca olvidar la fecha 22 de mayo 2007 y en mi mente corre como una grabación cada palabra dicha aquel día, tu inquietud y preocupación la entra y salida en la División, las veces que se fueron a verificar el objetivo, tus palabras: “no hay movimiento el hombre no está”. Todo estaba coordinado para un allanamiento esa tarde y nada sucedía, la tarjeta en cuestión no llegaba. Dándole tiempo al tiempo en lo que llegaba la tarjeta, en cuestión de segundos en una intervención de rutina algo de todos los días, ocurrió lo que al día de hoy muchos de nosotros tus compañeros aún no logramos superar…
Un individuo que nada ha aportado a esta sociedad, sin piedad ninguna te quitó la vida en el cumplimiento del deber…
Hoy te quiero recordar, tu sonrisa, tu amistad, tu sinceridad, tu disponibilidad al trabajo, tu entrega, tu ofrenda, AL AMIGO, AL COMPAÑERO.
Recuerdo en aquellos días cuanto me insistías para que me quedara compartiendo con ustedes el día del cumpleaños del sargento y te contesté que en otra oportunidad y dijiste: “no va haber otra” que mucho te critiqué por esas palabras y solo Dios sabe como va preparando a las personas para partir.
Recuerdo la semana siguiente, estábamos en las afueras de la División; Velázquez, tú y yo. No se como salió el tema de la muerte y ahí me diste todos los detalles de cómo querías tu velorio y sepelio, hasta la música que querías para tu ultimo adiós y cuando pienso que durante esos días fuiste acercándote a aquellos con quien habías tenido algún roce de trabajo, lograste limar asperezas. Incluyéndome, cuando me confesaste que al principio de conocerme no me soportabas pero que pasado el tiempo habías cambiado de parecer y me quieras mucho. Luego pasado los días te acercaste a mi y me dijiste: “ ya quiero descansar, acabando de llegar al turno pensé que habías pasado un mal día y te pregunté pero tú me dijiste: “ NO, ES QUE QUIERO IRME A DESCANSAR…” Al momento no entendí el descanso que tu alma pedía sin duda ya lo tienes y hoy mi amigo quiero que sepas; todos te extrañamos mucho, hoy fuiste noticia en el país pues ayer fue la lectura de sentencia de la persona que te quito la vida y aunque tantos años de cárcel no te van a regresar, se hizo justicia…pero no dejará de doler.
Fonty, aunque aquí se te extraña mucho me queda la satisfacción de que descansas en paz.

“Honraste tu uniforme con tu vida, gracias por tu ofrenda"

Fonty

Nunca te olvidaremos

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Agent Fontanez-Correa, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Jose, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Jose's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Jose's life was about so much more than the way he died. Jose will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Agent Fontanez-Correa, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Pero hoy le digo a toda tu familia, que el mayor reconocimiento no esta en un certificado o un trofeo en la semana de la Policia,sino en la honestidad que reflejamos la imagen que proyectamos al realizar el trabajo en la "LINEA DE FUEGO" EN EL CUMPLIMIENTO DEL DEVER"......JOSE,primo,Siempre seras un verdadero "HEROE".
