Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th 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. I am sure you are proud that your family continued your legacy of protecting and serving.

The grandfather that was never allowed to share his life with his children's children. His life cut short by an thug's bullet. A family denied memories.
