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 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.

My great Grandfather was the first in a line of Yonkers police officers. It is because of him that my father joined the department. I also follwed in their footsteps. From what I was told he was one of the toughest cops back then. But from what I understand all of the cops back then were tough. R.I.P and keep watching over the Yonkers PD.
