Keeper Fitzgerald,
On today, the 105th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of New Jersey. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.

I am privileged to be the first to leave a reflection for you. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 101rst anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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 your memory will always be honored and revered

You have been gone 101 years. The place has changed a lot, and the job has too, but the danger remains.
Your recognition and memorial has been a long time coming. We will see to it that you are not forgotten.

Rest In Peace Brother.
