Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Thank you for all the kind words over the years. After 43 years, I still remember the night that he left for work for the last time. He has been missed every day since. Over the years I have gotten to talk to several people that knew him as a young man and while on the force. According to their testimony, he loved police work. I am humbled to see a site like this dedicated to the brave men and women of law enforcement.

Deputy Gregory Lee Low was my first cousin. Everyone called him Greg. I remember when I first heard the news of the accident and Greg's death. I had just returned home and my dad (brother to Greg's dad) was running around the house trying to pack and make arraignments for himself and his sister to fly from MI to CA. My heart ached hearing how the accident happened. Upon my dad's return he told of the enormous line of officers that participated in the processional and that Greg's wife Jan, dressed in black, had worn a black hat and black veil covering her face. We still have the newspaper account of the accident and the funeral. Last I knew, Greg's parents still attend the annual memorial service.

I was working at the Exxon station which sat on the Southeast corner of Sierra Highway and Avenue J in Lancaster when this occurred. On the day of one of the officer's funerals, a cold, grey, foggy day, I stood on the corner and watched as what must have been one hundred or more patrol vehicles, lights on, otherwise absolutely quiet, emerge out of the fog. They were heading East on Avenue J on the way to the cemetery. As each vehicle approached, in total silence, you heard nothing but the sound of the rotating lights on top of each vehicle, and the click of the stop lights sequencing through Green, yellow, red. Traffic stopped as the procession slowly drove past. People turned off their cars in the street and stood, some saluting, many with their hands over their hearts, most crying. When the end of the line passed by, many, many minutes later, everyone remained where they stood until the last of the cars disappeared into the morning fog, some four hundred yards away. While I may have been only 17, I still remember the sights and sounds of that day. It remains as one of the most respectful, impressive and solemn occasions I have ever seen. Thank you officer, for your service.

Deputy Low,

It was an honor to have briefly known you when I was a child attending the Church of Christ riding the church bus known as the "Joy Bus" in the Antelope Valley.

You helped our family out one time when I was 8 years old and the memory of that event will never be forgotten.

You are an example of true hero and an excellent Deputy Sheriff.

Your memory will not be forgotten by this fellow member of the law enforcement community.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the thirty-first 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.

Rest In Peace.

No fellow Los Angeles County area law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Deputy Low, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
