Your heroism and service is honored today, the second 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.

Time never diminishes respect and you will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today. Rest In Peace.

Bill
There are not many days that go by without us thinking of you. I've seen a lot of officers come and go, you are one that I truly miss every day. I talk to my daughter when she sees your picture and tell her about you and how good of a person that you and Carey Ann are and how you both lived your life...you were always a fine example of what every one of us wanted to be and still strive to be. We miss you.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time 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 officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Deputy Shuck, 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. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for William, 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 William's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that William's life was about so much more than the way he died. William will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Deputy Shuck, 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 seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Bill, I don't think a day goes by without thinking of you. You were such a great guy and it was a pleasure to work with you and hang out with you and Carey Ann off duty. I know I speak for the whole department in saying that we all miss you. I don't know why G-d choose to take you so soon and I guess it's not for me to understand, but you and your family continue to be in my prayers. Please keep an eye on all of us from above as we continue to work the streets.
Don't forget to "Schuck and Jive"

I had the pleasure of meeting Lil Bill when he was all of 14 years old. I got to watch him grow into an outstanding young man. I was there to witness his devotion and marriage to his lovely wife Carey Ann. Then I had the pleasure of sharing calls for service when he worked for Durham Police. With all this joy, knowing such a fine man, I must now share in the sorrow of his untimely passing.... He was not only my brother in blue, he was my brother in life!

I got to meet your parents today. They beamed with pride as they talked about you, your wife, and your unborn son. May you continue to keep watch always over everyone from above and take care of your sister up there for your mom and dad. Give them signs that you are still with them. You are both missed dearly!

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
