Wish thing were different back then, (like) ask questions first, shoot as a last resort. You should never assume, be 100% sure, my grandmother struggled to raise his children as a result of losing him. RIP

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th 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.
