To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th 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.

I found out with pride that my great grandfather was a member of Bell counties finest. Regretfully killed in the line of duty. His legacy lives on in my son who wants to become a member of the KSP. I alwas wondered where that desire came from, now I think I know, its in the blood line.
