Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I resemble you in appearance. And I also have a love for criminal justice. DNA is strong with you. You still live on through your family. Your daughter Charlotte was my grandma and best friend. Thank you for your service and instilling your die hard DNA in us!!!! I'm about to graduate with my criminal justice degree and I also fight in the ring as well. I get it honestly I guess.

Agent Turner,
On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served with the U.S. Army during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest easy Special Agent Turner, my Great Uncle. It was stories of your character and bravery, that were told by my Grandmother, to both my Brother and I, that sparked our interest in Law Enforcement. Today we both continue to carry on the fight.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81rst anniversary year 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 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.

How proud you must be that so many in your family continued your legacy of protecting and serving through their own distinguished careers in law enforcement.

Rest In Peace.

Special Agent Turner, on this 76th anniversary of your brutal murder I wish to thank you for being a hero and working hard for the benefit of all Americans in your duties. Many people view the moonshiner as a hard working throwback to simpler times when in fact, many who produced that stuff produced poison that was capable of causing blindness, brain damage and death. With no regulations, they could manufacture their product with any material at hand. You and your partner, Special Agent Vlasich gave your lives in order to potentially save the lives of others. You have not been forgotten.

May you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother and God Bless you.

Many years I wondered where I came from. How I ended up doing what I do. I know my family and love them all. I regret that I never got to meet my Great grandfather but I know he was an honorable man. I can tell in his eyes from the photos I have seen.

Rest in Peace, Grandpa.
