Reflections for Assistant Chief of Police Lloyd M. Parton
May you rest in peace. I was randomly reading about my grandfather Loyd Parton and came across your story. My dad Loyd jr Parton (your grandson) never had a chance to meet you so I’ve never any stories!

Asst. Chief Parton,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixty-first anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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.
