Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd 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.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Uncle Ray,
My mother - your niece - was only 8 when you were killed but she remembers you well and has shared her recollections of you with her seven children. I am deeply grateful for your example of courage, for your dedication to what was right, and that example will continue to influence your family in the rising generations. Now I am sharing the story of your actions with my children.
