To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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.

I just read the memorial for Officer Baskin. How sad to think that his life was taken for the theft of service of a one dollar taxi fare. Nonetheless, he gave his life for us and he will always be remembered as a true American hero. God bless the family of Officer Baskin.
