Your heroism and service is honored today, the fifty-first 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 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

Thank you for your service Officer Larsen. I have heard about you for years from my Dad but have just today learned your last name and been able to put a face to the name.
You and my father were friends, both trying to get a job on the Moab police force. When they called my father back to offer him the job he had already taken a job at the local Ford garage, so he declined and put in a good word for you. 6 short weeks later you were gunned down, shot in the back by a coward. My father carried this loss of a good friend inside him for almost 50 years and I think in a way even felt responsible for it, like it maybe was supposed to be him sitting in that chair. May God bless your soul, and those of your family for your service.

Sir, I saw your memorial today and couldn’t help to think of how you were taken at such an early age and so young in your career. You would have been retired by now if this coward didn’t sneak up to you from behind, but I’m sure you have served us by watching over your brothers and sisters everyday. I hope your son knows what a hero you are and continues to be proud of his dad. God bless you sir. You will always be remembered!
