Your heroism and service is honored today, the 91rst 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. You will always be remembered and revered.

Rest In Peace

Robert and family:
I am a rider for the Police Unity Tour, representing the City of Newport News. Every year I ride 250+ miles on a bicycle in honor of fallen officers. We receive the bracelet of an officer who died in that previous year. I just wanted to remember those from my own city this year. I pray your family is well and you are not forgotten. Until I see you on the other side, God Bless you my friend...

A hero twice over. Once as a veteran serving his country in WWI and then again serving Newport News. Thank You.
