I think about you whenever I drive past that site, which is frequent. I always say a quick prayer. You (and your dad) were great officers and are greatly missed. I was there that night and I will never forget.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second 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.

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

Rest In Peace.
