Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Sheriff Ball,
On today, the 80th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 30th “Old Hickory” Division in Europe fighting the Germans during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I like Marilyn never knew my grandfather. My mom her aunt often talked of her mom and dad and my daughter has researched ancestry.com and found a lot of reletavies. I know my aunt Gwen had a hard life but the one thing I saw most was the love of the family for each one. The bible tells us to honor our mothers and fathers this means also grand mothers and grand fathers, and I pray that my life will not only honor my parents but also theirs. God bless our family and thank you grand paw for your service not only to the sheriffs office but also to the USA.

I hope to keep his memory alive, for her. My brother Jesse, who is passed away, my sister Linda Whited who lives in Kingsport and myself and my children.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 70th 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. Rest In Peace
