Thank you to everyone who has made comments about my father. From what I have heard he was an amazing person. I miss him a lot. Not a day goes by that he doesn't cross my mind. I visit his marker every chance I get. I saw him for his 39th birthday and for 2014 Christmas. Add I sit here and type, I can only wish it all was still a dream. I miss you daddy. Your little tator tot will meet up with you again soon. I can't wait to see you and Mr. William. I love y'all.

I am sending out my letter today. No cop killer should ever have the possibilty of parole.

The officer's do not get a second chance to be with there families.

May God ride with each of you on duty today & every other day.

Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of both officers. A strong reminder that nothing is routine. I myself was struck by a vehicle directing traffic at a four way intersection on February 28, 2011. I am partially disabled but fortunately I lived to see another day. May the fight continue to take drivers off of the street who don't belong there.

Heather,
Ive spent years wondering how you were doing and how Taylor is!!!!!! I saw you at Gene's funeral but amongst all the chaos, I decided to wait to speak to you until some time had passed. I had no idea it would take this many years! I really wish I would've gotten your number. I really wish I could've expressed my condolences to you and to "Tater Tot". Please let me (and everyone on fb) know how you and Taylor are doing! Ive always wished for the opportunity to tell Taylor stories about her father and how wonderful he was. Feel free to add me on fb .

Take care!

This has been a long time coming ... as I sit here and read page by page all the wonderful things that everyone has said about MY daughter's father, I am thankful. All I ask, is that everyone please be respectful of my daughter and ensure your posts contain accurate information when making post on this page or any other page in reference to her father. Thank you!

Gene,

I think I can finally leave you a message now. I remember when we started the academy together. I remember sitting in class sharing jolly ranchers and trying to stay awake. I remember the study nights with you an my roomate Tim. I remember your laugh, your smile and your strange taste in heavy metal music. I remember when Tim called me a day or so after the accident and told me what happened. I could not speak much after that and I just hung up. I went into the local store where I was sitting and got the paper and read a short article on the accident. I remember when they told us to look to the right and left of us while in class. Then they said that someone in our class will die in the line of duty. I would have never thought it would be you. You always sat to the left of me. I hate this tragic incident occured. I visit your page very often and have read every post numerous times. I was glad to have met you when I did and was glad to call you my friend. I will always remember the times we had in school and the fun we had studying. Look after us still down here fighting the fight. We need all the back up we can get in this crazy world. So long my friend.

Just wanted to write to say you have not been forgotten. I look forward to seeing your smiling face again one day. There's so much that's happened since you've been gone, but somehow I still feel your presence...so I'm sure you already know somehow. Please know that you are truly missed and truly loved by many.

Gene,

Today is the memorial for 4 Lakewood officers that were killed here in Washington state. Today brings back such sad memories of your funeral and Dennis LePages. It hurts as much today as it did the day you died. Please welcome them into their new home. Also be with me today as I go over the radio for my agencies and ask for a moment of silence in their memory. I need your strength. I miss you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the seventh 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.

I can see that your family misses you very much. I am sure you continue to watch over your loving family mmbers and friends. I pray for their solace. I shared your family's feelings about the denial of parole for the man who struck and killed you.
