Reflections for Patrolman Charles Ray Buckley, Jr.

Charles was my grandfather who I never got to meet. He also never got to meet his son (my father). I deeply respect his willingness to sacrifice his life at such a young age. His life and contribution to society has not been forgotten. Thank you grandpa.

Sandra, Charles' wife and I were classmates. I only met Charles a few times before he died so tragically. I will never forget the events of that fatal day in March of 1965.

The memory will last a lifetime.

I was at the JPD HQ yesterday and saw your name on the wall. Although I did not know you, your son was a childhood friend of mine and your wife treated me as if I were one of own. Your sacriface will never be forgotten. The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sins hold him fast.
Proverbs 5:22

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 47th 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 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.

Charles was a cousin of mine. I never knew him because he was killed 33 years before I was born. From the stories I hear, Charles was a great man and devoted his life to serving his city. Always remember the fallen protectors.
