I was one of the Ohio officers who attended your funeral. Two bus loads of NYPD officers also attended. It was indeed humbling for a small town Ohio cop, standing shoulder to shoulder with New York's Finest. RIP you've earned it.

I remember George from the District. He would take care of the Higbee security people who had made arrests and then needed to go to court. George was always very helpful and never treated the security people with anything but the upmost respect and a smile. With two years on the job I admired George as a REAL Good Cop, somebody us rookies admired and wanted to be like some day. After all these years I still remember George, you can never forget a REAL Policeman !

Dear grandpa,
I have never met you but I think I lead the life any grandfather would be proud of. I'm currently in the navy for the past five years and have the aspiration to become a police officer like you were. I hope you are smiling down on me from above and can provide me with the guidance and self sacrifice you have provided our country and city with. I hope to be like you one day and make you proud. I love you for the man you were and inspire me to be. May your neighbors respect you, angels protect you, trouble neglect you, and heaven accept you.

Dear Dad:

I went to the prison last week and met the man who took your life and told him what a wonderful man you were. He has been in prison for 31 yrs now, and is being punished. He told me how sorry he was for what he did to you, but sorry won't bring you back. Its too bad the accomplice only did 2yrs because he was a minor he was just as guilty. I now know what really happened, and it made me feel better to let him know how much pain he caused to our family.

love you.

To the family and friends of Detective George Zicarelli and his fellow officers:

On behalf of our entire family, we wish to pay honor to George's memory on the 31rst anniversary of the day George so tragically lost his life. His heroism, valor and bravery will be forever remembered.

Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater when he was fatally shot in April of 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, so we know the anquish you are still experiencing.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many long years of distinquished service Detective Zicarelli gave to his community and the citizens of Ohio, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 17, 1979.
