Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Al Valentino was the first Officer to be killed in the line of duty in my career. I was about to graduate the Police Academy and I will never forget it. Sadly, there were many more to follow. 30 years later now. Rest In Peace brother.

To the Valentino family sorry for your lost, I'm sure he was a good man. We have a lot in calming. My father was also killied in the line of duty. April 10 1975 philadelphia police. He also had two sons and I'm one of his sons writing this. It's ashamed how the department forgets the fallen officers from the pasted and only recognized the current officers who were killed. Your father was involved in a case that's directly touch my soul and I thank him. If you would like to discuss it any further just reach out to me. My father was Alan Lewin EOW 10 April 1975. God bless you.

Love you and miss your smile. Your little sister.

We graduated from the Academy together; got assigned to the 17th together; played on the same softball team. Sadly, I moved and was not able to attend his funeral.

Rest well, T-Bone.

I have no memory of Albert Valentino. But what i can say is that if it was not for this man I would not be here. Not because you risked your life but because you wanted a little girl. And you got me. Dad even though you never held me i want you to know that i hold you in my heart everyday. I know that you are watch over me always and now you watch over your granddaughter (my daughter). I hope i am making you proud and i hope you know how much i love you and how i wish you were here.

Also thank you to everyone for there kind words....

Al was my old partner when I was assigned to the 15th dist.It was alot of fun working with him and knowing the family.It was ashamed that he was taken so early.

I think about him often and how the family is doing. I remember the 69 Camaro that he loved so much. He will always be in my thoughts.

Today and everyday you're thought about. A huge part of who I am is because of your living and losing you.
I miss your easy going casual fun and laughter. I miss singing with you while you play the guitar. To MISS , a soft word for such a huge everlasting hurt.
Love to you and our other angels. Daddy, Mommy, brother Michael and sister Mary.

You are remembered today by a mother of a fallen officer. My son, Larry Lasater died when shot on April 23, 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers while serving with the Pittsburg, California Police Department.

Albert, your sacrifice is not forgotten. Rest in Peace. Your memory is honored and revered 21 years after your death and will continue to be. This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Albert gave to his community and the citizens of Philadelphia, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 23, 1989.
