I am 46 years old and I was only a little over a month old when you passed away. I am your great niece. My Grandmother, Anna Rusnak was your oldest sister. I was told that nobody could believe that this happened to you. When I was little, I saw your badge in my Grandmother's dresser. She never forgot you. Your sister Marge always told me how she cried when you died. She is almost 90 years old now.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 46th 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

Uncle Micky ...You were my Hero .I remember when I would be at the house as you would get ready for work. You would go to the front closet put on your belt,hat,check your gun, and put it in your holster.I still remember the sound the patton leather would make as you bent down to shake Jimmy's hand then give me a kiss on the head, and say see you tonight.I miss you and Dad everyday ...I had never seen my Dad cry until he lost you on the terrible day .I know the two of you are in Heaven.I bet you are in charge of gaurding the Golden gates......Love you Margy

I was on the GPD 4 months and on patrol the day of the shooting and remember beign told you had recently been assigned to plain clothes after paying your dues in the uniform. The scene at the Totum Pole West liquor/lounge will never leave my memory, but yours was not the only officer related death that I experience during the next 20 years-rest in peace with Gods angels.
