Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I remember Terry back when he was going through academy when he worked at Sears Service Center in El Cajon, CA. When I heard Terry was in the motorcade, I knew he'd do very well, since, like myself we grew up riding motorcycles off road since we were around 5 years old. Terry repaired washers/dryers while studying to be a police officer. It's still hard to believe this tragedy happened. I remember when he married Michelle, she was the dispatcher at the service center. We've got another great guy that worked with Terry and I who became a fire captain for San Miguel. Captain Brian Komp. I sort of stumbled upon this site, and like the rest of us here, I haven't forgotten you Terry.

Terry was a wonderful officer, selfless in his service to others and a devoted family man. He was a dedicated professional who left this earth too soon. Thank you Terry, for all the times you covered me on stops.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 9th 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

One man has affected one family with such sorrow. The criminal not only took a father, but now a son. I hope that people realize the sacrifice that officers give and risks they take.

if somebody knows who evaluated or has a connection to find out who evaluated kevin williams at san diego county mental health and could please relay the information to me or my family, that would be great. the person who evaluated williams decided it was safe for him to leave, even though he repeatedly said not to let him out or he would kill somebody. good job county mental health.

I remember that day only too well. I can still remember the sirens and all the commotion in the streets. It was truly a sad moment in the City of San Diego. Terry will always be remembered by all that knew him. I cried alot that day. I hope people realize how much an officer sacrifices each day when we go to work. Terry, you make me proud to be a police officer. May you rest in peace!!!
