R.I.P to my Great Grandfather!
Your son Edward was my grandfather and through the years I’ve acquired many photos of you from your time serving with the Lyndhurst Police Dept.
You were badge #3 and I’ve been a patrolman with the Nutley Police Dept., just over the bridge from Lyndhurst! My badge # is 330
Your son Frank was able to get a street in Lyndhurst named after you and there are memorials for you in the park next to the police department as well as at the Bergen county police academy.

Hi Grandpa,
I never knew you but I found your name on the wall of the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. Your son, my Dad, never really knew you either. He was 6 when you were killed. His 7 brothers and sister helped raise him. I knelt down next to your name and felt honored to be there. I know I will see you all again and I can't wait to walk by a stream and talk and talk with you and Dad. Your great great grandchildren are beautiful and I can't wait to tell them about my trip to Washington DC to find you. God Bless You Grandpa.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 93rd 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
