Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 63rd 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. The verdict for your killer was an absolute travesty of justice.

Chief Metcalfe
I could help but write this after reading you were the only Chief of Police ever in Harlan County. I want to say thank you for standing up to lawlessness, even when others would not finish the fight in your absence. You were obviously a man of great courage and I hope you take comfort in the presence of our Heavenly Father now. RIP

Chief Metcalfe, you have not been forgotten. Someone out there took the time to research your death so that your life could be honored.

This web site is world wide. You are now left for the ages to be honored and remembered as a man who gave the last full measure of service for his family, community and country.

For the family who descended from this man's honored heritage, remember how he lived, not why he had to die. Why people die is God's domain and not for us to understand. Carry on all that was good about this man so that his honor won't be diminished.

A true warrior that has gone unnoticed all these years. Amazing that you stood your ground in the face of evil and lawlessness to do your job. Your justice will not be in this world but you will never be forgotten
