I will NEVER forget this day...June 11th...my Uncle Donald D. Crouse, Sr., detective on the Waukesha PD, was supposed to be with you that evening...he was off that day to celebrate his daughter, my cousin, Cindy's birthday...it was her 8th birthday...I was 9 years old and we got the call that changed all of our lives ... and the party was literally over...we sat in stunned silence, tears flowing and thinking of your family...my Uncle Don was sick...we all were! You were a young man with a young family...you have often been thought of!

Uncle George, you were and always will be my hero. God took you way to young. There many things I will remember about you, but the most was how brave and how great a police officer you were.

P.S. I visited your resting place not long ago Uncle George.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 51rst 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
