Mark,
This morning at Peachtree Presbyterian, we celebrated your life in one of the most wonderful services I have ever attended. All of your fellow Red Dog Unit officers were there too, along with other APD officers and friends. No one could have fathomed all the wonderful things that have come from such a tragic event. You parents and family were beaming with pride. It was a CELEBRATION of your life and all the wonderful things that continue in your name.
God bless.
Mark

It is amazing the impact that Good People have on others. I miss the opportunities to bond with a Good Man, such as yourself, as we have in the past. Your contributions to our society, in every way, are appreciated. I admire your courage and pray that God has given us more men like you to make this world a great place.

REST IN PEACE BROTHER. YOUR MEMORY LIVES ON.

INV HAROLD HUTCHISON (RETIRED)
HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA POLICE DEPT

April 23, 2009

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 4th 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. My son was shot in California at almost the same moment you were shot in Atlanta with the three hours time difference taken into consideration, thus I have always felt you both began your new journey together.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

We love and miss you. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. We will continue to honor your memory in a way that would make you proud. You are no longer with us physically and there is a hole in our hearts, but you will forever be with us in memory and in spirit, and you are never far from our thoughts.

Love,
