Your heroism and service is honored today, the 121rst 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

Thank you for all you did to help make the streets of Detroit, where I grew up nearly a hundred years following your death, safer. They aren't all that safe today, however; people can be so bold. God bless all the men and women serving on the thin blue line, especially those in the Motor City. Your job isn't an easy one and we sure appreciate all you are doing.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

Officer Albert W. Thayer appears in the 1880 census in Detroit on page 503D. He was born in Michigan, as were his parents. His wife, Florence L. Thayer, 22 in 1880, was a native of Ohio. They had one child, Albert Jr., who was eight years old in 1880.
Albert W. Thayer and his family are not forgotten.
