It has been 94 years but your ultimate sacrifice will not be forgotten by the members of the CPD. Around 1960 the Chicago Park District police was brought in as part of the Chicago Police Department.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 92nd 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 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.

Policeman Donner, today marks the 91st anniversary of your tragic death. We can only hope the person responsible faced true justice, either in this life or the next, for his/her actions.

Being a Park Policeman has it's ups and downs. Some see it as a job where you mostly chase squirells, but there is so much more to it and all those who police our parks, be they national, state or local have my usmost respect. You had a tough job and you did it and for that, and your sacrifice, you are not forgotten. Your department is gone, but in our hearts, you are still here.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
