This is the most saddest story I ever heard of a opened gunfire on a cop in Waterbury.

I pray for no officer to get killed like that ever again and let god on there sides in any bad situation.

You were in the middle of a violent strike. All sides denounced what happened to you, and pooled together resources to find the three men that did this.
I'm a student doing research on this strike, and am saddened every time I find new information of the actions against you and your brothers.
Thank you for doing everything you could to help keep citizens like myself safe. This is one person that will never forget your deeds.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 108th 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.

Rest In Peace
