Your heroism and service is honored today, the 86th 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.

Almost a century has passed since your EOW. You have not been forgotten as your name now appears on the wall at the new Chicago Police Memorial and Park on the Lake front. It is a peaceful and beautiful place and you deserve the honor of having your name eternally there for all to see along with you fallen brothers and sisters. You are a true hero.
