Reflections for Patrolman Hugh Clark May

Officer Hugh Clark May was my Great Grandfather. I have only heard stories past down from family members.
I understand he joined the department later in life. I also know he had a son, Arthur May who became an officer and was one of the first motorcycle officers. One story I heard was when Hugh was asked what he had to do to make an arrest before firearms were issued, Hugh held up his fist. I also heard he was well respected among his fellow officers since he was older and bigger. His future great grand son, a retired deputy sheriff, is proud to know I had a great, grandfather, respected by his piers as well as the citizens of Chattanooga.
He will always be remembered as a true law enforcement representative.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 106th 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

Today we remembered you at the Memorial Ceremony in Chattanooga for the "Fallen Officers". It has been 108 years since your death. I met your Great-Great Grandson at the Memorial. I was glad he came and was a part of it with us.
They had a beautiful ceremony today remembering all of those who have given the "ultimate sacrifice".
You will not be forgotten.
