Rest in Peace, Officer Adams. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 113th 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.

Your sacrifice was made so many years ago. Evil was, is, and will be a part of life just as goodness such as yours will also be present. Historically, I preferred a time where an execution didn't take place decades after the sentence was rendered.

Rest In Peace

Yesterday, October 13, 2006, my youngest son graduated from the Southern Maryland Criminal Justice Academy as a St. Mary’s County, Maryland Deputy Sheriff. He will carry on down here for you.
