Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Amazing, 43 years of service, 71 years old and not only still protecting and serving, but put up the fight that he did. To Lieutenant Day, your great granddaughter who left the previous reflection and your entire family, always know that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren. Rest in peace always.

Thus seamed with many scars,
Bursting these prison bars,
Up to its native stars
My soul ascended

There from the flowing bowl
Deep drinks the warrior's soul,
Skoal! to the Northland! skoal!
Thus the tale ended.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 78th anniversary 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 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.

As the 84th anniversary of your sacrifice approaches please know you will not be forgotten. My area includes where you were killed, and at 11:30 p.m. on 19 September, the time you were killed, I will be at that location to say a prayer in your honor. Thank you.

No officer should be without a reflection, especially not one who dedicated over 40 years to his department. Thank you for your service. You are not forgotten.
