I came across your tombstone as I walked past to bury my uncle and noticed your birth year the same as mines, you were on the PD force and served in the military. Although I'm not a resident of Chicago. I would still like to thank you for your service in the community and our country.❤

Semper Fi and Rest in Peace my brother in arms and in blue. You have served well here and now you have been called to stand guard at the gates. You will NEVER be forgotten and you know that.

To his family and friends; We as Marines know the risks and challenges in a life threatening job yet we still accept it. It is not because we have big egos, or the power, but simply because of a question asked of us in boot camp. The Drill Instructors told us to reach deep and find the courage to endure the next 13 weeks of hell. They followed it up with the question: If we don't do it, who will?

Everyone asks themselves this question in law enforcement academy and I believe, truly believe, it takes a special person to acknowledge, commit, and endure these challenges. God has him and I shall meet him one day as you will see him again. Amen.

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Hard to believe two years has come and gone since you were taken from us. I remember working with you several times during Special Employment and thought to myself this guy is a great police officer. You will never be forgotten. Tomorrow morning at the same time of your incident, I will be at the scene to remember you and say a prayer. You will not be forgotten.

I remember the unfortunate night you came in to ACMC when a coward attempted to stop you from doing God's work. It was hysterical. But, in the face of my remaining calm and assisting other POs as they approached the hospital, my heart hurt for, of the many gun shot victims we receive at ACMC, this was not typical. My brother, you, a fellow PO, were enroute to this hospital. It is true that it is not how you died that matters so much as how you lived. You have touched the lived of so many by your service as a PO. Rest in Peace and continue the work. 19Paul.

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.

Larry was also a fellow Marine and I also thank you for your service to our country whole serving in the Corps. Semper Fi.

Rest In Peace. I pray for solace for your family.
