I am one of Frank's granddaughters. Last May, my grandmother, Frank's wife passed away. One of the hardest moments during her wake was when the Newark police officers came to show their respect. We were all again reminded of the sacrifice that polices officers and their families make. My grandfather never got to meet me or my children and my grandmother was left to raise three children on her own.
Today I was asked by a coworker if it would be alright for her husband, a Clifton police officer, to ride in honor of my grandfather to the memorial in Washington this May. My eyes filled with tears and I felt so honored that he would offer to. His offer and the words of everyone from this reflection all mean so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. To those officers who shared, may God protect and watch over you and your family. And to my grandfather, I know that you are watching over us and are now beside my grandmother.

When I stared at my current job, we had a Lieutenant Frank Shannon who was sadly taken by cancer well before his retirement. Officer Shannon, your name caught my eye.

Officer Shannon, today marks the 51st anniversary of your murder at the hands of a punk thug. For this to happen is tragic and infuriating as it is, but in front of your own home is an outrage. Though it's history now and many have moved on, no doubt this still hits home with your family and always will. It does not say if the individual who murdered you ever really served his full term, I can only hope he found true justice be it in this or the next world.

God Bless and may you forever, Rest in Peace, Brother.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the 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
