I am so glad I was told about this page and I can finally share a few thoughts. Tom became one of my best friends in high school and were in each other’s weddings. It’s still hard to comprehend he has been gone 15 years. I always admired his passion for law enforcement. I happy to see this page will keep his memory alive.

It's so hard to believe that it has been Fourteen years since I received the phone call. telling me that you had died. You would be so proud of Jean and the girls. Today, as I do everyday, I am keeping in my thoughts and prayers you, Jean and the girls and all who love you.

Eleven years ago tonight was when I received the late night phone call informing me that you had died and what happened. I started making my laie night phone calls of notifications. It's hard to believe it's been eleven years already. You would be so proud of Jean and the girls. Your daughters are becoming beautiful young ladies. Just as we were there for them, now Jean, Maddie, and Lizzie are there for the new survivors. We will always be there for them and will never forget you.

These last 10 years have not been the easiest without you here. I know your E.O.W. anniversary was back in January but I wanted to tell you Lizzie, Mom and me miss you very much. There isn't a day when I don't think about you. I wish you were still here with us. I know your watching over Mom, Lizzie and me and seeing how much we've grown. Lizzie is going into 7th grade and I'm going into 9th!!! I love you Daddy forever. Rest In Peace.❤️

Tom, another anniversary is here. I hate using the word anniversary for something that is not a joyous occasion and that's what anniversaries are supposed to be ...joyous, but That's what it is. Eight years ago we lost you. The girls are getting big...RIP and know that we continue to be here for Jean and the girls.

Tom, Another year has rolled around, and we all still remember hearing the terrible news as if it just happened. The girls are getting big. They are turning into beautiful young ladies, you would be very proud of them and also proud of Jean. Keep watching over them and all of us.

Tom,
I can't believe that it's been six years since you've been gone. I remember that night like it was yesterday and I will never forget.
You have a very strong and beautiful family. The girls are a constant reminder of you. The way Madie says certain things, and just look at Lizzie...she is a mini Tom. And Jean is a great mom. She keeps the girls in line...kinda how she kept you in line.
Continue to watch over us Tommy. Love Ya!!!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixth 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.

Your memory will always be honored and revered for time never diminishes respect. I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

Tom, As today comes and goes, I can still remember as if it was today, getting the phone call. We gave and still are giving Jean and the kids support and they are reaching out and giving support to the long list of survivors who have followed behind. We belong to a group that no one wants to belong to but we are and so we will all be there for each other. RIP Tom, we will always remember you.

Tom ("TC"),

It's been 6 years bro and I still remember leaving swat training and seeing you getting ready for the canine run. We both smiled at each other and then I drove off. God only knows that that would be the last time I saw you alive. I miss you bro and think of those great times in vice! I won't forget those crazy fun times and talks we had. See you again one day when the Lord returns!!

It's times like these I'd love to see that old Ford with the diamond plow on it rolling down the roadway one more time. Happy Holidays my friend.

Daddy,

I just wanted you to know we had a great first week of school. Madie just started 2nd grade, and Lizzie is finally in kindergarden, and we both love it. I wish you were here to watch us get on the bus. We love you and miss you so much.

Tom, you were my brother officer but more importantly my friend. I miss the department softball games and at Woody's after wards with you. You were a good officer but a better husband and father. You are sorely missed all.

PS: Hopefully the lord has taught you how to catch a fly ball.
I miss you pal. God bless you.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.
