Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and fourth 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.

Rest In Peace.

The Gamewell call boxes lasted into the 1970's, and right up until the last, coppers would strike the side of the call box with the key to see if it sparked, before opening it, so as not to be shocked. Your experience taught a lesson to future generations, and became one of many traditions within the Indianapolis Police culture, some more curious than others, to be sure. I'm proud to share a collective heritage with you, sir!
