Gone , but never forgotten. Good old fashion police work helped capture the dirty murderer. May Officer Wilbert rest in Peace.

We all hope for something that makes us stand out, being the first Chelsea officer to die in the line of duty is not what anyone would like to stand out for. When being a Police Officer in Massachusetts was still in its early stages, you were out there on the front line and it cost you your life. It cost your family and friends you. Officer Wilber, your sacrifice made you a martyr, you life makes you a hero.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and thirty-eighth 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.
