To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 58th 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.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Thanks to your family for sharing their devotion to you through their reflections.

I was only two years old when you were taken from us. I can only imagine the pain I caused Mama by insisting that you were coming back. I was told you went to a beautiful garden, I can still remember the vision I had of that garden they described.

I wonder what life would have been like if you had been a part of our lives. I can only wonder. Christina never got to see you, I remember so little but I do remember you. Diane was the "oldest" but she was so small herself. I do remember you bumping our heads on the ceiling when you came home from work - we loved that!

I know I'll see you again someday, I know Mama was thrilled to see you again. She missed you so. She never remarried, never dated really - but you know that don't you. No one was as special as you I guess.

Save us all a hug - we love you!

You were taken from our family even before I was born. How devestating to think how your beautiful wife (my mother) felt after just learning that she would give birth to me, only to follow with the sudden death of her beloved husband. I will meet you some day Daddy! Please hug Mama for me. Love you both!
