Your heroism and service is honored today, the 74th 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.
Time never diminishes respect. You will always be honored and revered.
Rest In Peace

Det. Gilmore's son, Loren, passed away today. He was 88. Loren was a highly decorated WWII veteran (bronze star/air medal/purple heart). Apparently heroism was passed from generation to generation. RIP Loren.
