Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Rufus N. Wallingford

Deputy Wallingford, it has been 149 years since you were taken from us. Hillsborough County and New Hampshire law enforcement have continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your law enforcement service.

Brother, it's now been 144 years since your senseless and brutal murder. Your murderer may not have been identified by those working the case then, but those working the case for all eternity know who he was and have, I prayed, dealt with him justly.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal Rest, remain peaceful.

At a time when many of us are ready to retire, you were out serving papers. Deputy Wallingford, you are truly a hero and I am very glad and we are all fortunate that your sacrifice has been discovered and posted here so that all will know.

I hope and pray that those who came after you, at work, but especially within the family, know and learn about your sacrifice and appreciate what you did.

Brother, God Bless and may you forever and always, Rest in Peace.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your service and sacrifice is honored today, the 143rd anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. 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.
