It's you. I Never knew you, but I do. You were and still are an honored man that will never be forgotten in my eyes. And shouldn't be in any others. I wish you could have been around longer, we all do. But you died as a brave spirit. Protecting.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81rst 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

FINAL CALL

An angel in the sky must leave his place of rest,
Gently tucking his wings beneath his armored vest.
For duty has called, there is much work to do,
Little did he know, this one’s dressed in blue.
Arriving on the scene, He knows just what to say,
"Follow me my fallen Brother, I’ll show you the way".
"Your duty here has ended, now your work is through".
"Come rest your hat beside mine...for I’m a cop too".



Rest in peace Ed. You deserve more than we can do for you!
