Went to the blue light dinner this weekend in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The kids had a blast. They were impressed with the fancy hotel that we got to stay in. They are growing up so fast. We still miss you so much and miss you every day. We love you!

Hey Josh, still thinking about you. We try to be careful out here but please watch over us. I know the passage of time doesn't make it any easier for your family and friends. I hope they smile a little more each day when they think of you. I see more officers taken from us each week and I know there is another community going through a lot of the same things yours has. I pray that they can withstand the immeasurable pain and grief. No one deserves to lose a loved one but we must go on without you. No one knows why until we get the chance to ask God for ourselves. Until we see you again, we will try to honor you in the lives that we live. Thanks for being a part of our lives. We miss you immensely.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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.

Rest In Peace. I hold your family in my heart's embrace today.

Hey Bigfoot, You've been gone over a thousand days now and I just wanted to say I love you a thousand and ten days more than I did on 9/28/06. Our family reunion will be in a couple of weeks and wanted you to know that you'll be with us in spirit. Maybe you and mom and dad, Adam and Uncle Chuck will be doing the same on the other side. I miss you, sweety! Love, Aunt Linda PS(Be a good boy)

Josh,

I attended the Alan Jackson concert with my wife and family at the Schottenstein Center located near the Ohio State University Campus area about 2 months ago. It was a great concert especially with the likes of James Otto and Trace Adkins performing in addition to Alan Jackson. When Alan Jackson took the stage, he played many wonderful songs including one in particular that sent chills up my spine and made the hair on the back of my neck stick up. That song was "Remember When" which was also the same song I remember shedding a tear to at your funeral service approximately 2 years and 3 months ago. I remember being seated inside a school gymnasium on bleachers surrounded by law enforcement officers from all across the country. Two agencies that quickly come to mind were the California Highway Patrol and San Diego P.D. who made the trip to pay their respects to two fellow brother law enforcement officers 2,500 to 3,000 miles away. These officers and the hundreds that attended the service did not know you personally but were there to honor, pay tribute, and get to know who Troopers Josh Risner and Dale Holcomb were. The service was very moving and emotional. Partly because of the overwhelming support that was displayed by all those in attendance. We all share the same morals, values, and beliefs and because of this, there is a bond that brings us together in the face of a tragedy. We stand for what is right to combat what is wrong and are willing to place ourselves at great personal risk to achieve these goals. That is what brother and sisterhood is. There is no question in my mind that there wasn't one law enforcement officer there at the service that wouldn't have risked their own life to change the course of that fateful day if they could have to prevent you and Dale from departing this Earth prematurely. But God has a plan for each and every one of us and even though we don't understand why, one thing is for certain. Everytime something bad happens such as the death of two brave men, something good can also come out of it. For example, the outpouring of support from family and friends for those who are left behind. I know I personally will make it my life's calling to be there for Josh's sister Jodie and her husband Cory who I work with on 4 Precinct B Company. Rest assured Josh that I will always be there for them for friendship and support as I consider them to be an extension of my family. There is no doubt in my mind Josh that you are in a place we cannot even possibly fathom with our Lord God in Heaven. Just as you did on Earth Josh, please watch over all of us as we stand up and watch over those who cannot defend themselves. In my mind, you guys are martyrs for the law enforcement profession and I am very proud to be a part of this family of brave men and women. I will always "Remember When" and will NEVER forget you Josh. Rest in peace brother, we'll take it from here.
