Altough I never met you, your memory was passed down to all your grandkids, great-grandkids and now your great-great-grandkids by your grandson (my grandpa) Rudy E. May (1896-1982). Thank you fro your bravery and service.

Your Great-Great- grandson,
Rudy C. May (1958 to present day)

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 95th anniversary year 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.
