Reflections for Patrolman Herbert E. Towne

Patrolman Towne,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Patrolman Towne, it has been 60 years since you were taken from us. Northern New England law enforcement continues to serve and protect and make life secure for our part of the country. I honor your military and 5 months of law enforcement service to the citizens of Newport.

Patrolman Towne, it has been 59 years since you were taken from us. Northern New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your military and law enforcement service.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 47th 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.

Death ends a life, not a relationship and this is evidenced by the remembrances of your sister Joanne.

Rest in Peace.
