John Henry - your family has never forgotten your loss. Your niece, Maude nee Balsinger, would tell us stories about you - of what she could remember of those days. You were her hero.

I am privileged to be the first to leave a reflection for you. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 90th anniversary year 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered
