Your heroism and service is honored today, the 39th 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.

I also worked at SQ as a CO, but did not commence work until several years after your death. I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hope to meet some of your family at a NORCAL COPS function one day.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

He was so proud to be a member of corrections/law enforcement. After retiring from the Air Force, he still wanted to count for something. Make a difference. So, when called upon for an extra special assignment,(on his regular day off), he stepped up. Although we lost our dad, we are still very proud of him & his work. We not only received condolences from his fellow COs, but from many of the inmates. It re-enforced how great a person he was.

The sacrifices made by Officers Shull, Mills, and Davis, are most certainly not forgotten !

One of my closest friends is presently employed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. I will take the mean streets of Southern California, any day over the thankless job he has. I send him E-Mails every day from this website regarding those who have been killed serving as he. I am hard on him and we participate in street fighting combatives to maintain a level of proficiency.

During the 1980's and 1990's, I met and spoke with many former CDC Correction Officers(CO's), some who are now employed by LAPD. I also met with many former inmates and participated in several radio shows with some of them. Being on patrol in the LA area it was not uncommon for me to make contact with many parolees who actually did time at Soledad and San Quentin during the time that these CO's made the ultimate sacrifice.

Law Enforcement personnel need to recognize that many of those incarcerated back in the 1970's are now being released and I am beginning to see some of that "old school" mentality returning to the streets. Today, the Black Panthers have become the New African Vanguard and while maintaining a visual during the Stanley "Tookie" Williams wake, I observed no less than 10,000 come to pay their respects. Although I do not agree with much contained, for anyone who wants a better idea what was in the minds of those responsible for the deaths of these CO’s, I highly recommend the following books:

1. THE MELANCHOLY HISTORY OF SOLEDAD PRISON, MIN YEE, HARPER’S MAGAZINE PUB. 1970.
2. BLOOD IN MY EYE, GEORGE JACKSON, BLACK CLASSIC PRESS 1972.
3. SOLEDAD BROTHER: THE PRISON LETTERS OF GEORGE JACKSON, 1970.
