Officer Shaw,

At the beginning of my career I too worked for BPD. We policed the same streets and probably knew some of the same people. Rest in Peace, brother.

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 63rd 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 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

John Leonard Shaw was employed by the City of Ranger Fire Department as a fireman. Pryor to his appointment to the Breckenridge Police Department. Leonard worked with my father at the fire dept in 1947. Leonard is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Ranger, Texas. On his gravestone is a photograph of Leonard in his dress blue police uniform. That details him in his uniform hat with a shield,and the dress blue uniform and shield over his heart and his Sam Brown with strap. I would like to take a photo of Leonard my next trip home and post it in honor to him for his service and the price he paid on that day in 1949.
