Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th 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.

What possible conduct while incarcerated could have warranted parole after only serving 22 years for murdering two police officers?? This was ravesty of justice for this officer and his family.

Rest In Peace

You are remembered today and thank you Sir for your service, as always this writer is disappointed that a man who intentionally killed two police officers only served 22 years in prison, such an injustice.

This writer is very sorry it happend to the both of you.
