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 53rd 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.

I read in disbelief that the woman who shot you received only a year. What a travesty of justice for you and your family.

I still recall that night when we got the news that you had been shot. Love you dad and I'll see you again someday. Your son bill and grandkids.

Patrolman Perkins,
On today, the 47th anniversary of your murder,I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Matewan. I think's a complete travesty of justice, that your murderer, who shot you in the back only served less than a year.

R.I.P.
