Reflections for Police Officer William H. Anderson

Officer Anderson,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of St. Louis.

BPA Mike Casey

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 87 years.

Rest In Peace

Your great grandchildren deeply appreciate the sacrifice you made to protect the people of St. Louis. Although Eddie Linehan, a notorious gang member, was suspected of executing you, he never was charged. Your grandson, my father, P.O. John B. Anderson was inspired by your service to join the St. Louis Police Department and served for more than 30 years. He died in 1978.

YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR LONG AND DEDICATED SERVICE. THIS WRITER IS ALWAYS DISAPPOINTED WHEN JUSTICE CANNOT BE SERVED ON BEHALF OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT SOME HOW AND SOME WAY JUSTICE WILL BE OR HAS BEEN SERVED. YOU ARE A HERO SIR JUST BY THE PROFESSION YOU CHOSE.

May God grant you everlasting peace for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten by your brother and sister officers who have followed in your footsteps.
