Rest in peace Patrolman Devens.

I have been talking about J. Devens for the last 20 years in attempting to name a Canarsie street after him. The issue of family being notified has been the greatest hurdle. Since this happened over 100 years ago, that is a difficult task. Devens was one of New York's first mounted officers and was part of Canarsie since at least 1897, where he served on a policemen's committee. He is the first officer to die in the line of Duty in Canarsie, which at that time served all neighborhoods in Flatlands.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Devens and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 105th 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
