Three years have past and you would think I would have come to terms with his untimely death...but I haven't. I still miss him greatly and think of all the wonderful time we had together. His love of fishing and catching huge catfish at my home and copperhead snakes while he and I fished will always remain in my throughts. I pray he is at peace and know what he will always be in my thoughts. Someday we will meet again.

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.

To Marshall Beam's family friends and admirers,


For reasons not published here, Marshall Beam's notice escaped posting until recently.

I'm glad it did make it. Marshall Beam obviously loved what he was doing if he was willing to ride an ATV in a parade. That's something we all enjoy watching, our public servants taking time to bring a smile to the faces of everyone.....especially kids. That's who the parades are really for.

Marshall Beam strikes me as a man who was an expert at coaxing a smile out of all those who knew him. I pray that's how you will always see him.

"Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

May the Lord Jesus bless you all.

Louis Beam was one of the first townn Marshals I met when I was a rookie. Louis was always willing to step up to the plate and take on any call with fearless courage. I spent many nights working with Louis and he was a great guy. RIP and you are missed.

My Brother

Although I never met him, I knew him.

He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.

He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what

they represent.

He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his

community and to his country.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him.

He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.

He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.

He was competent, trained, and professional.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him.

He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became

frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.

He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he

never wavered.

He stood by and for his fellow officers.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him.

He longed for his family during the long hours.

He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely

weekends,holidays and midnights when they were apart.

He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling

and prayed they would understand.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him.

He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.

He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the

people he served.

He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to

be the best he could be.

He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.



He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.



He was a cop, he was my brother.
