I love you Daddy. I know you are happy to be reunited with your beautiful wife, my sweet Mama, Dorothy. I miss you both very much.
I hope you both are able to look down on me and your grandson, Bob, and your granddaughter, Renee, and your great-granddaughter, Madison, and see that we are all well and strong and so very proud of both of you.
You are honored as a hero because you gave your life trying to save another. But you are also a hero because of the life you led for 34 years as a faithful and loving husband, wonderful Daddy to me for the first 22 months of my life, and loving son and brother, as I was repeatedly told by your mother, Elizabeth and all your siblings. And you, Mama, are equally a hero. You were only 30 when Daddy died. There were no police pensions nor large insurance policies nor Social Security benefits. Six weeks after you buried Daddy you returned to your profession and worked constantly to give me a wonderful and secure life. Thank you, Mama.
Please, dear Lord, take care of my parents. I love and miss them very much.

73 years ago today you gave your life trying to save another.
I am proud of your courage, unselfish spirit and honorable devotion to your profession.
I believe that had you failed to perform your duty that day, your future would have been filled with anguish.
I pray that you did not know you were dying nor feel sadness at leaving your beloved wife, Dorothy, and your baby girl, Marilyn.
I love you will all my heart, Daddy.
Your daughter, Marilyn Black Dussault, Esq.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 67th 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.

For Patrolman Albert S. Black:

He filled the shoes of hero on the day he gave up his life to attempt the rescue of another human being during a horrific fire. Nobody could ask more of a public servant and certainly no public servant to give more.

Nineteen forty-five was a year of anxiety and relief as WWII was still raging on and much sacrifice was being made, but before the year was over peace was restored. To be here "safe" at home was not true for everyone, least of all those soldiers-of-the-law whose duty was every bit as hazardous as any military soldier.

I would like to believe that on the day before, the day of my birth, I was assigned by our creator to replace a New York City police officer named Albert S. Black to serve others, in another time, and another place in this world as a state police officer. Never did I exceed his bravery or his willingness to boldly attempt to save the life of a fellow human being at what were impossible odds.

To him I render a final salute.

Officer Black did not lose his life-he gave it in a rescue. May God bless his service and his sacrifice. I know he's now in a better place, walking Heaven's beat, and watching over us still.
Rest easy, Brother; you will never be forgotten.
