Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Officer Cuneo, today marks the 87th anniversary of your murder. I have no way of knowing if you knew the suspect was a former police officer, but guessing you did, I’m sure you approached him differently than if he had been just the average lowlife. It’s only natural if you did, we all would. It’s so tragic that this man who once was a member of the family went so far astray and killed a brother, depriving your wife and nine children of their husband and father. Though I’m sure you never truly left their sides, you were never with them physically again, and that is the most tragic part of the whole story.

You are a hero and I know in my heart you tried to rectify the situation with no one getting hurt. That truly is the sign of a hero.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
