Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to the native state of myself and my cherished son Larry Lasater who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace.

In loving memory of P.O. John Fesperman: How tragic! You lost your life on the very first day of your job because you agreed to fill in for someone else. Glad they caught the culprit and he is long gone!! Remembering your sacrifice today and thanking you for performing your duty with courage and honor.
