Dear Grandpa,
I did not know you since you passed when my mom was 12. But I heard a lot above you. I have always been proud of 2 things in my life. First, I am Irish-Catholic from Boston. And second I am from a police family. Thank you dear grandpa for making me proud! RIP

God Bless you, Brother on the 84th anniversary of your tragic passing. It's heartwarming to see the descendants of the deceased leave reflections as it shows, that, if they keep you in their hearts and minds, you are still with them, if only in spirit.

May your continued rest remain peaceful, Patrolman Ralph.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 79th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. 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.
