To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 137th anniversary yer 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. I am so sorry that you were robbed of your life at such a young age. How your parents must have grieved for you! Rest In Peace
