Detective Sergeant Shy, thank you for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten. The following is a little more background on this fallen hero:

Sergeant of Detectives Roy Shy died at 5 p.m. on April 8, 1922 during a traffic accident. Sergeant Shy was responding to a pay-roll robber at the Gilfillan Brothers Smelting and Refining Company. Shy was fatally injured when his police auto collided with a laundry truck at Washington and Los Angeles Streets. Shy was appointed on April 1, 1907, and had just celebrated his fifteenth year of service. Shy was an acting lieutenant at the time of his death and left behind his wife, Alice, and two sons, Carl and Hugh.

Det. Sgt. Shy - Though the years have passed into decades since your loss, we'll never know what impact you might have made at LAPD. We are always worse off for your loss. May you rest in peace, Sir, and may you loved ones have been comforted in the aftermath of your death.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th 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.
