Officer Naccarato,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Officer John Naccarato had two sons-John & Tim who were too young to know him. Their Uncle David has told them for years what a great guy and older brother he was and how devastated the family was. Our father should know that thorough our hard work and strong support from family and friends, we both got college degrees, had productive careers,and have great wives and children.
We will always regret not knowing our father.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 64th 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

Some years ago, I had asked for reflections, to be sent to me at Southwest (formerly known as University) Station, of the officers killed in the line-of-duty, there. A retired cop by the name of Ralph Kelly , wrote to me from Yarnell, AZ and shared the following about John Naccarato, Jr.:

"Johnny and his partner responded to a call of a man transferring unknown articles from one car to another, in the area where the severed-in-half body of Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia) had been found.

Johnny approached the suspect, with his flashlight in his gun hand. The suspect suddenly whirled around, and stood face to face to Johnny, with a revolver in his hand. He told Johnny to raise his hands. The suspect berated Johnny (and all policemen) for what seemed like one to two minutes.

Johnny came down, on the suspect's head, with his flashlight. The suspect's gun discharged and killed Johnny where he stood.

Because Johnny and I were in the division only a short time, simultaneously, I never got to know him. I did, however, play snooker several times with his dad, at a pool hall on Vermont, north of Jefferson. Johnny, Sr. suffered considerably at the loss of his son, but expressed pride that he died as an LAPD Officer, carrying out his duty to protect society.

It was one of life's rewards to know men of this caliber...they will not be forgotten."

Sincerely,
Ralph Kelly
