Your heroism and service is honored today, the 3rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know that both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their refletions.

Chico,

It was a pleasure knowing since I was a kid and you were my DARE officer. It's too bad I never had the chance to work with you at SPD. I will keep you & your family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my brother.

I ran in the National Police Week Memorial Run today in Washington DC. Officer Velazquez's name was on my bib, and I ran in his name as did several others. I am so sorry for his loss. I was honored to run today and wanted to express that and my appreciation for his service and dedication.
