To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 118th 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.

Many believe that if you are employed by a specific entity you ONLY watch out for that entitiy. You have proven in a very sorrowful way that we all look out for our neighbors when 'on the job'. You did the right thing and sadly it cost you your life. May your killers spend eternity in hell for taking you from your family.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
