Reflections for Jailer John Joseph Kavajecz

You are my great grandfather. I wish I would have had a chance to meet you. Your daughter Mary was the greatest grandmother I could have asked for. I ended up serving as a police officer in Madison for six years, and your great granddaughter Hannah is currently serving. Godspeed and may the Lord keep you in his embrace for all eternity.

I loved going to the jailhouse where Grandpa and Grandma lived. I think people would go to jail just to get some of Grandma's homemade cooking! Fond memories of sharing orange crush with you Grandpa! Love you forever and always ❤️

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 43rd 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.
