Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

My 92-year old Uncle Paul Fleming, a former Kingsport Police Officer, was driven home from work by Ira Burgess at 2:30 pm. Only hours later, was Patrolman Burgess' end of watch. I had the honor of speaking today at the Police Memorial Service and meeting Patrolman Burgess' daughter. We will never forget your service.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 62nd 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
