I am sorry that this happened to your grandfather. My grandfather is the one that was charged. His name was Mack McKinney. The story I was told he was outside a store carving a piece of wood, waiting on my grandmother that was in the store.
MisterGable hit him with a night stick, and grandpa automatically hit him with the knife still in his hand. It automatically cut is juggler. Wished it would never have happenef

Stephen Gable was my Grandfather a man I never got to meet.
The Drunk that killed him only stayed 7 years in prison! Steve was a Father of 8 kids my Mom Mary was 11 years old when he was killed. In her class in school was the daughter of the man who killed her Father. It is sad that this happened to my Grandfather. My Grandmother raise the last three children at home by her self. She and the kids pulled cotton and she did laundry to make a living... RIP Steve Gable... Will meet you on the other side...

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 46th 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.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Gable and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Gable has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Gable, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Gable is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

When through one man a little more love and goodness, a little more light and truth come into the world, then that man's life has had meaning.
