Your heroism and service is honored today, the 72nd 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.

I said a little prayer today for Detective Sergeant Sullivan and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

An ambush killing two officers at my husband's police dept. brought me to this website, where I read your story.
You left a large family, which saddens me, but they must have been so proud of the person you were, to sacrifice so much for us all.
Thank you.
