So many times I have thought of you and the fun working with you in booking prior to your transfer to the road. I can remember hearing you sing "Down Came a Black Bird" over and over. You are still missed so many years...

I miss you so much. We are approaching 16 years, and it feels like yesterday. My heart breaks when I see your photograph in roll call. You were taken from us way too soon.

Officer Payne, I had been reading tonight about a friend we lost this year when I realized that almost no department has been spared the anguish of the loss of a brother or sister; so I read many more memorials tonight and was moved to write to you.
You have many friends who speak well of you, and who miss you dearly. I am proud to say I am one of the brothers you never met and I want to say THANKS SIS, I AM PROUD OF YOU ALSO! We will all see you one day in Glory.

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.

Rest In Peace.
