My Great Grandfather ... Edward W. Von Holten. When I was a kid, I remember my Grandfather (Earl) receiving a very special Christmas gift. My dad (David) and uncle (Ed) had wrapped a framed memorial to honor my Great Grandfather. His police badge, his gun belt, a silver cigar case and a photo that he was carrying when the accident happened. I remember the look on my grandfather's face as he realized it was his fathers badge and photo. He immediately broke down and cried like a baby. As I child I was frightened to see him cry but now realize how special that Christmas truly was. There was not a dry eye in that house. I didn't know the full story until today when I found this on the internet. The Circle of Life and the power of the internet. I'm proud to discover that my Great Grandfather was a true Hero!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 75thth 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 who was murdered in the 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.
