Officer Gaul, you died while attempting to keep others safe. It's tragic to say the least. I have no idea the mindset of the driver who killed you. Was it purely accidental? Was he drunk or driving recklessly? I have no idea. I also have no idea if he felt remorse. But all that's unimportant now, after 78 years. All that is important is, you were taken from those who knew and loved you best far too soon, doing what was right.
God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 76th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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.
