You pasted 10 years before I was born. From stories I heard from my dad Leo T Sullivan Jr you were a great man. I would have loved to have known you

The grandfather I never met. God bless you, Grandpa Sullivan... I hear you were a great cop... one who didn't hesitate to respond to a situation even when you were off-duty.

Fifty nine years ago today you died dealing with something that every one of us in law enforcement, regardless of who pays us, has dealt with. We've faced the happy drunks, angry drunks and drunks who want to fight the world, each is a unique challenge and each is a unique threat to our well being. You were off duty and yet you saw a problem and instinctively stepped in. How very tragic that it cost you your life, but your dedication is admirable.

God Bless you and, yeah, rest, Brother.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 56th 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
