Officer Souders,
Although we never had the opportunity to meet, I think about you and your sacrifice often. I graduated from the police academy the day before the 92nd anniversary of your line of duty death. The academy was nice enough to mention you and your sacrifice with a moment of silence. I know you will be watching over me during the course of my duties, and I hope to continue the legacy that you left behind.

Your proud great-grandson,

Patrol Officer Andrew J Gatz. Badge #236

It has been 89 years since you bravely gave your life in the line of duty. Although so much time has passed, you remain a hero to many people including me. I am proud to carry your name. May God bless you and may you rest in peace forever.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th 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 who was murdered in the 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. How nice that your family continued your legacy of protecting and serving.

Rest In Peace.
