To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 80th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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.

Requiescat in Pace, Uncle John! I never knew you, but my Father [Joseph Edwin Sevick -- CPD for forty years] would speak of you. We had a family scrapbook which I was sometimes allowed to see with newspaper articles concerning your CPD career. The last time I visited the County Courthouse one of the door's into the 4th Floor NE courtroom still had a bullet hole in it from the shot that took your life. The hole was plugged with a different material from the rest of the door panel.

If anyone knows anything about my Uncle's widow, or can direct me to her family, please post a note here. I've never had any contact with them.

I salute you for your dedicated service to the City of Chicago and its citizens. You are a true hero. I am glad that justice was swift for the individual that took your life and ended so many dreams. You will not be forgotten.

your sacrifice and that of your loved ones lives on at this site and you and they are not forgotten. while muted in sorrow, your story is an inspiration for us now decades later in that by some measure, justice was swift and most assuredly appropriate. there are far too many cases noted at this site where justice for those who sacrificed themselves for the rest of us was denied.
