I am so lost for words that you were stabbed in the head and the 3 people that cause your death were given very light sentences. You were the father of my great grandmother whom I never met. You were the grand father of my my grandmother and she was a gem in my life.
Rest in peace. Gilda

I am a former Princeville Police Officer. I had no idea that an officer from the department had fallen because no one ever mentioned it. This is something that should be a part of every new hire at the department. Unfortunately, Princeville no loner has a police department. I hope they get it back. Officer Powell gave his life many many years ago to make a difference. I remember him now, this day, and always.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 86th 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.
