Your heroism and service is honored today, the ninety-first 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.

Your watch ended long before mine began. The first of my family had been in the country only 14 years when you answered your final call. You were a Shomrim as I am now. We may be a few short of a Minyan but we are scrappy. May your memory be forever a blessing and I will try to come see you on my next visit to the city I love with all my heart.

Rest in peace officer Halbfinger you and officer Rosenberg. Olav Hashalom.
