I never got to know you, but you were my grandpa. I knew about you because your daughter and my mom, Virginia, Thompson, aka Jean, told me about you. Seems to me that you're someone to be proud of. If fact my grandson, your great, great grandson, wrote a report for school about his hero, deputy sheriff Jesse Thompson! I so, so, so wish I could have known you.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 74th anniversary year 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
