Rest in Blessed Peace Dear George. This world is a better place having had you in it....You were always a part of family legend, and now after 125 years, your story of your bravery is being told. We are all so very proud. May the Lord bless you and keep you always...

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 125th 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.
