My great grandfather. His daughter Martha, (my grandmother), was a successful businesswoman, owning several stores and a movie theater. His daughter Patty was a postmaster. His other daughter was named Mary Nell.
Martha was at work at her cousin Cy's drugstore when she was 13 years old, when someone called the store to report the shooting to Cy. Martha answered the phone and received the news of her father's shooting.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 76th 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 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.

It is sad and enraging that if one of the two men who were responsible for your murder had not received such an woefully inadequate sentence, he would not have been free to murder two other officers after his release after serving only six years.

Rest In Peace
