You are gone but never forgotten brother. Public Safety is a special bond that we share. "We do not bear the sword in vain. We are the servants of God." You are a true American Hero and you will always be remembered.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 88th 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.
