Inspector McMahon- I never knew you, but inherited your assignment as an SD - “Service Depredation” Inspector domiciled at the Akron, OH Main Post Office in February 1970, thirty years after your unfortunate and unnecessary death.
The galleries were death traps in my opinion. They were cramped, dirty, and dangerous. I still bear a scar on my forehead from hitting a low hanging cement wall while trying to promptly move through a main tunnel. The hanging “tell tales” didn’t give me quite enough warning. Needless to say the blow felt like a baseball bat and put me out seeing stars for a fair amount of time! I’m sure I suffered a concussion that night, but I was working alone as was standard and ultimately shook it off. You were a brave man doing your duty that day and I truly appreciate the hazards to which you exposed yourself. At that time there was no viable way to catch thieves in the act without watching them handle “test” letters. Everything then was “low tech”. Surprisingly, I was never told of your death. To my knowledge nothing ever changed. I respect and honor you for what you did and consider you as a brother in arms.!
Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice!

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 74th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first 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.

"Final Call"
An Angel In The Sky Must Leave His Place Of Rest,
Gently Tucking His Wings Beneath His Armored Vest.
For Duty Has Called, There Is Much Work To Do.
Little Did He Know, This One Is Dressed In Blue.

Arriving On The Scene, He Knows Just What To Say,
"Follow Me, Fallen Brother, I'll Show You The Way."
"Your Duty Has Ended, Your Work Is Now Through."
"Come Hang Your Hat Beside Mine, I'm A Cop, Too."

Finton was in our service long before I came in. The job is quite different now. But some things never change, like our appreciation for the bravery and selfless acts of those who came before. As I near retirement I sincerely wish he had the same chance.

Blessings from USPIS Badge #3942 to his family and all those who loved him.

PI McMahon-Thank you for your dedication to your country. It takes special people to "guard the mail" & you gave your all doing just that. America can never say enough thanks to the men & women in law enforcement. It is with sincere hope that you found peace in heaven where no more pain or harm can come. It is also hoped that your family & friends were able to mourn your tragic loss and then were able to have fruitful & beautiful lives.
