Reflections for Patrolman Eugene F. Scanlon, Sr.

Patrolman Scanlon, it has been 52 years since you were taken from us. New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your military and years of law enforcement service.

Patrolman Scanlon, it's now been 48 years since the incident and your passing as a result. It's a disturbing disgrace what happened and where. We can only hope that those responsible faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.

God Bless, Brother and may your eternal rest be forever peaceful.

Patrolman Scanlon,
On today, the 44th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

We cannot fully honor our heroes of the present without paying tribute to our heroes of the past, Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45rdanniversary year 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.

Officer Scanlon, you were murdered by juveniles. It's simple proof that ANYONE is capable of taking the life of another and people have to remain aware of this and hold all murders fully accountable, regardless of age.

Your courage and sacrifice are honored here. I have no doubt that you rode alongside your son as he patrolled the same streets you did and are proud of both of your sons.

Thank you for your service to the people of the Commonwealth and the nation.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be at peace.
