Officer Down Memorial Page

As your youngest child, who was too young to know you or have any memories of you, it's difficult to know what reflection I should leave on this site dedicated to you and all of the other peace officers who have died in the line of duty. First of all, I thank you for creating me along with the most wonderful mother anyone could have. I grieve for the shortness of your life and pray that God has welcome you into His kingdom.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 49th 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 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.

I've followed in your footsteps...nearly 29 years now with Fullerton PD...15 of those years on motors. I'm recovering from a serious collision, but I hope to ride again before I retire. Dad, I've never forgotten your sacrifice, and I hope I've made you proud of me.

Being a motorman is what you loved. Unless you have been one, no one knows the feeling. I was only a few months old when you died, but in my later yearsbecame a motorman for the state as you did, about the same age. Being involved in a crash in 1996, I was fortunate enough to continue, but not on what I loved to do...ride. You are on the ULTIMATE motor squad now. Rest easy Brother and watch over us. I will look forward to seeing your Ultimate motor wings. Until we meet...
