While I didn’t know you either, I’ve heard the family talk of you many times over the years. You were laid to rest way too early and so tragically. I am your Great Grandson and I will always remember the heroism that will always follow your name. Maybe your sacrifice is what led me to my career choice as a firefighter.

Your end of watch came 8 years before my birth, but I heard enough about you from my father(your son) that I feel I know you pretty well. I can't say that I miss you, because I never really knew you. But, I can say that your untimely death left a huge hole in our family.
Thank you for your service and for doing what you felt you needed to do.

Ronald Grove
Grandson

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Laying flowers on family graves every "Decoration Day" was very important to my Grandma, Lena Mae Grove, and as she and my mother are both gone, I do this every year. I visit the grave of John Paris Grove and his departed wife, along with the early grave of Ted Grove's first wife, Esther, buried nearby. John "Ted" Grove was a wonderful man and I imagine that his father helped set his strong faith in God, in family and in himself.
