Detective Sergeant James Martin King was my father's (James F. King, now of Atlanta) Grand Father, though his heroic death in 1920 occurred long before he was was born. My Grandfather James F. King was one of the four children left without a father at the age of 16. Within months I believe, thier mother also died of grief. He and my great Aunt Helen were left orphaned to raise themselves to the best of their abilities a mere 9 years before the Great Depression. I can not imagine their grief after losing both parents or how fearful they must have been. But their pride in their father, and his gun, have been passed down to us. James Martin King's father was Sergeant William King, and his brother, Lieutenant John King, was known as "Fearless Jack." As our cousin Sergeant Fuollo notes above, their brother Thomas King served as a Deputy Sheriff in the city. We in the King family will never forget or our family's proud history with the Police Depart of the great city of St. Louis. When we saw the tributes and thank you notes left here, over 94 years after his passing, we were absolutely overcome. Its serves as a beautiful reminder that world is still full of many fine people. - the kind of people who know and appreciate the meaning of the word integrity.

We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts,

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 91rst 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.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 91 years.
