Reflections for City Marshal Samuel Perry Burks
Samuel Perry Burks I’m proud to say was my relative. He was the brother to my grandfather Jess Burks. I had not about my grandpa Burks family. Just made the connection a few years ago. Thank you for your service, great Uncle Sam

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 110th anniversary yer 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
