Deputy Marshal Walter Stroman had probably been on the force for only two days (Kelsey City). He had no uniform and no badge. Trying to do his duty in this fashion probably contributed to his death. His fellow officer was also in the same condition and let the killer get his gun. Badges and uniforms were ordered after Walter's death. We only found his name within the past ten years. He was truly a forgotten hero.

Wish I had known you. You are gone but not forgotten - you would be proud of everything done in the last few years to honor you. Thank you for your service.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 86th 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.

Rest In Peace
