Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd 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.

Grandfather - Although your 3 grandchildren never met you, we are proud of you and saddened by the tragedy of your loss at such a young age, knowing how difficult it must have been for your wife (Grandma Goldie) and sweet daughter Mary (our mother) who still remembers you, although she was only 5 at the time. You would be happy to know what a good person she is (very much like you I am told), patient, good-natured, energetic, hardworking, steadfast, sweet and practical, honest, quiet and modest. She is still living at age 88. You have a granddaughter and 2 grandsons, and 6 great-grandsons, all of whom are handsome, intelligent, and upstanding people, living in California, Hawaii, and Idaho. I never understood what this must have meant to my grandmother until a few years ago when researching your death. We would love to know your other Turner relatives, but mother lost touch with them many years ago. Thank you for your service, and for your exemplary character.
