Reflections for Patrolman William Smith
I understand that he was an honorable and dedicated man and is my namesake. I visit his grave and say a prayer for him when I go back to Joplin from Tulsa ( where I live now).

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 101st 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
