Uncle Fred,
I was only 5 yrs. old when you were murdered to protect others. I heard family stories and grew to be very proud of my "uncle Fred". You'll be proud to know that I became a Philadelphia Police Officer and served 25yrs.

Rest in peace ,
Your nephew George

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. 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.

Rest In Peace

Dear Dad...I finally found you and have fixed your name with the agency. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I miss and love you very much and not a day goes by you don't cross my mind. Hopefully you will be proud to see your section in the book I am writing. I still plan to get to the bottom of your death. I wait for the day I get to hug you in the afterlife.

Your Son
Fred
