Your heroism and service is honored today, the 36th 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. Your family and the deputy's family did not get justice...30 years is insufficent for killing two officers and wounding a civilian.

Rest In Peace.

Rest in peace Hero.
Was this crime done by Billy Brenanstahl? I've known Billy from the 5th grade. I saw on the news one night in 1973 that he was wanted for killing a CHP Officer.
You & Meryl Andrews rest eternally.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Larry, you might look down from Heaven and note that every year I go to the Berdoo office and remind the guys of your sacrifice and I tell 'em about you AND Lt. Stewart. It's strange to know that almost all the troops there came on the patrol after you were gone. But youe legacy lives on and your spirit fills the office. Have you seen the new kids?? I can't remember being that young, but I guess you and Bill and I really were! Makes me smile. Each March 9 I take flowers to your grave and some young T.O. is assigned to accompany me so I don't trip and fall (I'm not happy about getting old!!) But though it's been 33 years...you are not forgotten by your old friends. We miss you.

Love,
