I am your baby, I wanted to climb in the casket with you, they said you were sleeping, I wish I would have. Life has been full of manipulation, lies and mistrust which has shaped me into someone that has been broken many times. I know if you would still be here with me you would have protected me from all of it. The day you left me was the worst day of my life, I pray one day we will be together in heaven. Until then I will remember those big arms of yours wrapped around me, loving me. I miss you every day. All my love to my Hero, my Dad, Bill John Yanich

To all the people that have left heartfelt sentiments, I thank you, I knew my Dad was a great man and I thank you for sharing.

Dad,
On this date so many years ago you were called home to be with our creator. We will never understand why but someday we will all be together again. Until then you continue to watch over your loved ones and serve as their guardian angel. I will always love and miss you more than I can express. I am grateful that you continue to watch over me, Donna, Barb and Mom too.

Today's date is always a somber one for me as I will never forget this day as long as I live. I still remember ISP coming to the front door that night to tell us about the horrible events. Dad, I will never ever forget you & I know one day that I will see you again as you always watch over me. Love you to the moon & back.

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.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of you.
Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't miss you.
I find comfort trying to live my life in a manner that would make you proud of me Dad.
