Your heroism and service is honored today, the 54th 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.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace

Detective Lieutenant Harry A. Thom was my mother's father. He died from complications of injuries suffered during a foot pursuit a few months before I was born in 1958. My middle name is the same as his.

Family stories tell of his service during Prohibition against the Purple Gang and others running whiskey over from Canada. After Prohibition he worked in Narcotics. During WWII he wanted to join the military, but his DPD superiors convinced him to stay on.

When I was very young we would go to Police Field Day at the State Fairgrounds with my grandmother and my brothers and I would sometimes meet his colleagues.

Rest in peace.

My father, Arthur LaVigne, served on the Detroit P.D. from 1954-1960 so he may have known you. He then went on to retire from the Flint P.D. in 1987. May God bless your family and may you rest in peace.
