Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and twenty-eighth 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

This was an honorable officer protecting and serving his community. My husband is Jim R Spillman. He is not related to James Spillman, but he is a "twin" to this portrait.
My brother and my son-in-law are both police officers. And I feel honored to have found this site and to have become acquainted with Officer Spillman. May you rest in peace, and God bless.

It is not just nice to see you honored and remembered by your brother and sister officers, but your family and relatives also. Here it is 125 years later and you are being honored at a family reunion by relatives who have obviously not forgotten, just as the law enforcement community has not. Thank you for your service!
