To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 46th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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 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.

So sad. You had so much ahead of you with a young family to look after. You
died tragically 41 years ago, so suddenly and with so many dreams left to accomplish. I'm sorry for the loss. Thanks for serving the Evergreen State.

YOUR TIME WITH US WAS TO SHORT. 39 YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND YOU HAVE TRUELY BEEN MISSED, TIMES AT THE LAKE AND THE LAUGHTER. I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A WONDERFULL GRANDPA TO MY DAUGHTER, AND YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR FAMILY.
