People are already talking about your golf outing. I think it will be another success. Just make sure the rain stays away. Not tricks from you either. We all sure do miss you alot. You will never be forgotten. Somehow your name pops up somewhere everyday.

Scott,

I ran into a few people the other night who told me you helped them out and help turn their life around for the better. You are not forgotten brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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.

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

I hold your family in my heart's embrace today and pray for solace for them.

Hi my friend! It's been 3 years today since we lost your physical presence. This time of year never gets easier. I guess Leah's birthday each year has helped reverse some of the sad moments around your untimely departure. She brings smiles to our faces knowing she came into our lives at a time when we needed a break, and I know you had a part in making that happen! She's three in less than a week and getting a brother this summer. Overall things here continue to go by one day at a time. It's been a rough year in the country for your brothers. Help them in their changed environments and continue to watch your family & friends here. Say hi to Bruno for us. Scott, we miss you everyday and know you are watching over us. Carry on and continue your work. Will chat again soon...

Three years, it's hard to believe it's been that long. I remember it like it was yesterday. I can't find the words for everything I'd like to say, but not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

I wanted to write something profound and beautiful to honor your memory today, but I guess the pain of losing you is just still too fresh. Words mostly escape me right now. But I know that you know what's written in my heart. It never gets easier, Little Fish.

When God Made Peace Officers

When the Lord was creating peace officers, he was into His sixth day of overtime. An angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of idling around on this one."

And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order? A peace officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle his uniform. He has to be able to sit in an undercover car all day at a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvas the neighborhood for witnesses and testify in court the next day. He has to be in top physical condition at all times, running on black coffee and half-eaten meals. And he has to have six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands....no way!"

"It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord. "It's the three pairs of eyes the officer has to have."

"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.

The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before he asks, "May I see what's in there, Sir?" (When he already knows and wishes he'd taken that accounting job) Another pair here in the side of his head for his partner's safety. And another pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, "You'll be alright, Ma'am....when he knows it isn't so."

"Lord, " said the angel, touching his sleeve. Rest and work on this tomorrow."

"I can't", said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck."

The angel circled the model of the peace officer very slowly. "Can it think?" she asked.

"You bet", said the Lord. "It can tell you the elements of a hundred crimes, recite Miranda warnings in its sleep, detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less time than it takes five learned judges to debate the legality of the stop...and it still keeps its sense of humor. This officer also has phenomenal personal control. He can deal with crime scenes painted in hell, coax a confession from a child abuser, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily newspaper how law enforcement isn't sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects."

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the peace officer. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."

"That's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."

"What's a tear for?" asked the angel.

"It's for bottled up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag for justice."

"You're a genius," said the angel.

The Lord looked somber, "I didn't put it there," He said, "It comes with the job."

As the anniversary of your death gets closer it's hard to know how to comfort all those that are still grieving. There are times that I look around and see these people with a look in their eyes. When that happens I just know they are thinking of you. Keep your Mom and Denise safe. They still need you.

Today,

A beautiful "almost spring" day....
The weather is a balmy 60 degrees....
The wind is lightly blowing....
The sun is shining down.....

It brought back memories of my first sign of spring that I could always count on...

That beautifully fit, shirtless, sweaty and glistening Sev out running in the neighborhood.....

Hot damn, Sev's out, IT'S SPRING!!!!!!!!

Miss you, superman! Love to you and Bruns.

Think about you all the time. and miss you so much. Keep watch over your buddies. They need a little push from you to keep on the straight path - you always kept that way - tell them it doesn't do any good not to be honest and caring like you were. Watch over all of us.
