Officer Wright and his family were my neighbors in Peoria, Illinois and I played with his son when we were in grade school. He was killed when I was 12 years old and we were saddened by his death. He was a great person and I remember him well. I now live in Michigan and do not get back to Peoria, Illinois often, but every time I drive on Hamilton Blvd. near Bigelow St, and see the monument memorializing him, I say a prayer. Rest in Peace Officer Wright.

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. He was also your brother in green so I thank you for your service in the USMC and bid you semper fi.
