Reflections for Chief of Police William Bryant Hardee, Sr.

My grandfather was his brother, Orbie Lee Hardee. Both were in law enforcement. I never met my great uncle Bryant but heard many great things about him. RIP Uncle Bryant.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 59th 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 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.
