Tobin, 20 years ago you gave all you had. I honor your sacrifice and your memory is sacred to me. I've had an incredibly difficult time this year, during this season, but I will not dis-honor the gift of life that you gave me. I have retired from the field of service with honor and will continue to live fully and appreciate the time that you gave me.

Be at Peace!

I grew up with Tobin. We drifted apart as our lives became more complex. I became a Juvenile Correction Officer while he went into Law Enforcement. I have nothing but high regard for Tobin, and I am eternally grateful for his service to the U.S. Navy, and his service to the people of Texas as a Law Enforcement Officer. It broke my heart when I found he had passed, but he will forever be a great friend and brother in my heart. Rest in Peace my friend...May God bless your family and other friends.

What you did for my father and my family these many years ago remains fresh in my memory. I cannot adequately express my gratitude. If not for you, I probably would not be where I am today. Thank you so much. Rest easy, warrior.

God it is so good to FINALLY say thank you for saving my family that horrible night, your family and you are always in my heart. I have dreamed of this moment, most of all dreamed of the chance to meet you up there with Our Father. You are precious and sweet to Jesus and your heroism will never be forgotten. I have a 5 year old son named Julius, you know thay Julius was a centurion in the Bible that helped Paul in Acts 27. I just put a photo up on facebook of my Mother, a picture that I took that summer. Thanks for sacrificing your Family and life so that I could have a future, God doesnt make any mistakes. I'm thankful to God our Guardian Angel. Amen

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 14th anniversary year 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both their pain and pride are forever.
