A lot of respect for a brother officer who dies in the line of duty. I certainly remember hearing about that burglary and Sgt. Grabeck's death. He will always be remembered.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 60h 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.
Rest In Peace

Dear Uncle Benny,
I remember you as a person of wonderful good humor. Your service in World War I was that of a hero as was your service to the New Britain Police Department. I am proud to be a family member.
