Reflections for Patrolman John J. Ryan
Grandpa, I never got to meet you, and your sons didn't have much time with you. My Dad, your son, was 3 years old when you passed away. Your wife did a fantastic job raising 2 boys without u. It was very hard, but she managed. Your son grew up and became a father of 6. What a wonderful dad he was. He passed on February 23rd, 2017. I'm sure you two are together and watching us. Thank you for your service. Your grand-daughter, Tina Ryan

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd 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.
