Your heroism and service is honored today, the 54th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace.

Patrolman Flynn, your service to the people of Salem and the Commonwealth as a whole has not been forgotten, and I thank you for those services. You died from a fall. Most people think Police Officers only die in the line of duty during shootouts, but sadly, more seem to die in ways such as you did. No way is a good way.

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