Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Earl W. Truitt
To fully pay tribute to the heroes of today, we first need to remember those who came before them and who died in the line of duty for it is those heroes who were the standard bearers. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 100th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace

Deputy Truitt was identified with the help of the Masonic cufflinks he was wearing. They were a gift from his wife.
We will always remember Deputy Truitt's sacrifice.
