Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and twenty-sixth 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.

Rest In Peace.

Officer Coffee, the mere fact that you were able to keep your job through all the departmental reorganizations that occurred during your career speaks volumes about your merit as an officer, but that fact that you WANTED to keep your job speaks even more about your character. New Orleans was extremely violent and tumultuous during the war and the years that followed, and many men wouldn't have policed the city for a fortune. You did it as a volunteer. In spite of war, occupation, and extreme disorder, you spent 24 years serving your city in a job you so obviously loved. It's a shame that someone so dedicated and brave met such a tragic end, but, rest assured, you will always be remembered.

Citizen
