Reflections for Officer Robert R. Ferron, Jr.

I want to write a note as if you were to read it. After all these years. I thought early this morning that I would do some sort of good thing, for someone today, in your honor. There will always be some tears, of course, but also, I enjoy remembering you. It always starts with where you sat at the kitchen table in Butte. And then your generosity, your amazing intellect, your first car, how you had an uphill climb because in those days it was hard for Indians, etc... It is easy for me to overlook anything that wasn't perfect, as siblings should. And how I knew you would protect me against bullies. You seem so close. You would be, or must be, so proud of your daughter; she is one of the best people I know.
And now, Lenny is with you, too. At least I think that is how it works. I hope so! Prayers today for you, and for Leonard. I really, really miss him a lot. Especially on Sunday mornings when we would talk on the phone to catch up.

Your birthday was this week, and I thought of you. Our younger brother said you'd be an old man, like the rest of us kids... old, I mean. But it would have been so nice, and so right, to have lived our adulthood with you. We missed you especially at occasions when we all got together. i know you must be so proud of your daughter!!
You were proud your job as a policeman, and bravely went to work that night. I will always stand to honor you.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

I would have met my uncle had he lived when I was born in 1967. I am still thankful for his service and all those that have given their lives and continue to serve for my safety. Thank you and God be with you always.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 48th 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 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.
