Reflections for Patrolman David W. Carpenter

We were teenagers together; good friends at a time when life was simple, easy, and full of fun. You would be surprised how often I think of you. What a joy it would be to talk with you now.

Your friend,
Sharyn Short

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th 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.

Time never diminishes respect and you will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Patrolman Carpenter,
On today, the 41st anniversary of your murder, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

R.I.P.

David,
I remember the day you left so well. You were young and full of life, eager to be a good Officer. You would have been that.

Sleep well, with all the others.
