Your heroism and service is honored today, the 47th 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.
When you were killed, I was seventeen and getting ready to go away to college. I had probably never given a thought to the dangers of your job but knew that the two law enforcement officers I knew were nice guys. It probably never entered my mind that these men faced the prospect of danger every day they protected my hometown. My understanding and appreciation for service and sacrifice has changed markedly.
Rest In Peace
