Reflections for Sheriff David L. "Doc" Anderson

Also known as Billy ‘Buffalo Bill’ Wilson, an outlaw who ran with Billy the Kid, ‘Dirty Dave’ Rudabaugh, etc. He reformed, became an upstanding citizen, but unfortunately paid the ultimate price for it.

I have a place not far from Sanderson. As a young man my parents took me to Sanderson and I have been fascinated by West Texas ever since. Your soul lives on as a special memory of the west. RIP brother.

To Whom ever this interests.
It is unfortunate that it takes a man's life to make change. I was a LEO for 36.5 years, unfortunately have been to too many Police Officers Funerals for reasons just like what happened to Sheriff Anderson. I can't keep up with the numbers of Officers killed by people who just don't care. God tells us "Blessed are the Peace makers". Obviously God was calling this man home. So many Officers have lot their lives in the performance of their duties, these Men and Women leave behind families. Many of those families another takes the oath and continues the job. I don't know what possess a person to not care for others and kill someone who is trying to make our society a better place, maybe its a sickness, No, I say it's Evil, and Evil must be removed, no matter how many of us it takes. May your Sheriff look down on your County and know he did his solemn job. R.I.P. sir.

Rest in Peace Sheriff David (Doc) Anderson. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Terrell County, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers. I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw at the carcass of your murderer. May his screams of anguish forever rise up from the lake of fire warning evil doers of their impending fate.

Amen.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 94th anniversary year 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.
