Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

This hero was my uncle. I remember the day that we received this news, and even though a child at the time, could not imagine how terrifying it must have been for him to see his daughter and her friend's lives threatened.
The next day, when we heard he had passed away from the gunshot wounds, was so shocking and painful as he left a very young family behind.
I don't think we totally understand how our law enforcement officers are put in harms way continually and are instantly forced to make decisions for the greater good. Way too often it is a sacrificial act of courage that ultimately takes their life. We owe them such a debt of gratitude, and especially during this climate of violence and disrespect for these brave men and women. Thank you so much for your service.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 59th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged 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

Our thoughts and prayers go out to This Officer, as well as the Family, Friends, Department and Community.

This is a loss that will never be forgotten. Hours will turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but, the difference that these officers have made will last forever.

We lost Our Deputy Morris Taylor on September 14, 2002. When he joined the other Angels in Blue.

God Bless Our Law Enforcement Officers and Those Who Love Them.
