To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 53rd anniversary year of your death. I am privileged 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.

I was just one when you were killed. My father, Billy Pierini was your partner. He died soon after in a car accident, fell asleep at the wheel since he had not slept much after your death. You were partners and I have received much knowledge through relatives over the years. I have thought about you and your family for years and I think about you and my father often. I pray for your family. I married a police officer and I became a bank investigator. I guess its in my blood. Thank you for being my dads partner. Rest in Peace.

I remember him as I was a little girl in school and he watched a crossing where I walked after school.I gave him a school picture one time. I have always remembered him as a friendly , smileing man who would always take time to talk with us kids.I lived on McLemore for a long time. I was and am still proud to think of him as a friend.

Officer Bruno Jr., I have learned many of things through your family. You were a wonderful man who was taken from his family too soon. To this day they grieve your loss and your memory is not forgotten. I am reminded everyday that I must be careful, so that I can return home to your beautiful grand daughter. May you watch over us and keep us in peace.

My fallen brother, you are not forgotten!
