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. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 94 years after you were killed.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
Rest In Peace.
