  • Deputy James P. Tutino

    Retired Deputy Sheriff

    In Honor of Deputy James P. Tutino

    Dear Tutino Family,

    First and foremost my heartfelt and deepest sympathy on Jim's passing. I posted on this site ( or so I thought) several years ago, about my fond memories of working with Jim at Wayside Max. I still remember CHP chasing Jim in his Datsun 260Z to the Main Gate for speeding. They told the Gate Deputies the next time they will just break through the gate.
    Jim was a good man, a good Deputy and most of all My Friend. It is this journey we call “ Life,” that we all must go through until bc we see our loved ones again.

    By His Grace,
    Ed Wetta
    Retired LASD/Temple Station
    Knights of Columbus
    4 th Degree Knight

  • Deputy Peter J. Aguirre

    In Honor of Deputy Peter J. Aguirre

    Oh how the young teen boys( especially my son Cody(R.I.P. also) loved, adored and daily looked forward to seeing Peter. Peter Always made time to speak and encourage our young teens. He is Dearly Loved Eternally and Never Forgotten. Peter cared and his caring changed many young lives for the better. R.I.P. Peace Officer Peter Aguirre. I know in my heart that if your young life wasn’t taken away so cruelly and abruptly, my son Cody and many more would still be alive today. Your murder effected so many young skateboarders who looked up to you so lovingly. Yet, that terrible unforgettable day on Encinal in Meiners Oaks literally ripped apart my son’s heart and others who looked up to you for Inspiration and guidance through their desperate need for Moral Guidance. My young son of 16 yrs old testified for the prosecution in Johnson’s Death Penalty Sentencing Hearing, holding back tears and rancid anger as he looked Johnson straight to his face then walking past the Killer after finishing his testimony keeping himself from attacking and trying to inflict same amount of pain on Johnson that Johnson had inflicted upon Peter and all those who loved Peter, Johnson ruined so many lives after the tragic loss of their beloved Mentor, Deputy Peter Aguirre Jr.I know for a fact my son Cody Never recovered after Peter’s murder and such depression and heartbreak contributed to my son’s early death at age 24.Peter is an Icon and and a saint to the youth who still remember his encouragement and deep caring towards all of them in that time. Rest Easy Deputy Peter Aguirre as I know my son is now reunited with Thee Best Mentor Ever that the youth in Ojai have ever encountered then was taken away so abruptly , cruelly and so tragically from them as the youth who had adored and honored you, Peter. We will Eternally honor you and hold you closely and lovingly as you did them while Representing what a True Peace Officer is.Those young teens who so enjoyed speaking and confiding in you love you. I also love you Deputy Peter Aguirre Jr. for taking the time to show my sons what Great and Goodness Life had in store for them. Sadly my son NEVER got over your murder yet I know he’s up there with you skateboarding 🛹 and confiding in your sweet soul still. God Bless you and yours, Deputy Aguirre Jr. Never again will we witness such deep devotion to the youth on your beat. You Are a True Peace Officer. Thanking you for your service and giving your life to protect seems so inadequate compared to what you unselfishly gave, and instilled in our community of Ojai Valley Calif. You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! Peace be to you and your Beautiful Family. We love you and time will never change that💔💛🕊️🛹😓
