To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 63rd 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.

Sheriff Uptegraft,
It has taken over 57 years, but you are finally being honored. I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but for our Country as well when you served in the U.S. Navy during WWII.
