I visited your gravesite yesterday and left you yellow roses. I don't know you, never heard of your story. I was bringing roses for my dear mom on Mother's Day and something drew me towards your gravestone. Out of all the thousands of gravestones I was drawn to yours. I'm so very sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for your service. RIP

Thank you, Officer Lasater.
With sincere gratitude, I thank you for serving the town of Pittsburg and putting yourself and potentially your own Family in harms way to preserve the quality of life in the people of that town. Such an Honor to have you, a God given Hero who grew in grace with a sense of duty to serve your Country and lead Men
and Women into a war zone in to fight the war on terrorism, then shortly after YOU serve along with my Heros as a part of the Pittsburg Police Department.

To know that YOUR boots walked through the City of Pittsburg as a Police Officer during a crucial time is an honor.

I send lots of love and sincere gratitude to your children, your wife, your Family and to those you serve, who you fight in combat for and whom/all that you stand for.

God bless you all,

Mr. SP

Today is Christmas Eve and I miss you so much. On our 18th Christmas without you, all we have are precious memories but you will always be in our hearts and souls. Yesterday I had to make a brief shopping trip and when I pulled into the center, I saw 6 Solano County Sheriff's vehicles. I coul tell the way they parked they weren't on a call and were having breakfast
I found them and told them how much I appreciated their service, and then I absolutely dissolved into tears. They were very understanding and wonderful. I even got a hug and I tried to imagine it was from you. Holidays are tough. Loving and cherishing you forever, my wonderful son.

R.I.P. Hero. It's Father's Day, although you never got the opportunity to see your son, I pray he will know his dad was a hero. Thank you for your service Sir. I also pray that your mother, and wife are well. They both were kind enough to put a message on my dad's page. That's right, I too am the son of a Fallen Officer. (Arthur Williams Newark Police Dept. N.J. EOW 3-1-78) I pray your son grows up to be everything you would have inspired him to be. I pray your family is well. I pray for all those who protect and serve, and for the families who's Hero, never made it back home.

Mom misses you terribly as do all that care for you. I am thankful for my faith and don't know how people survive a grief journey without it.
I recently celebrated my 75th birthday with a wonderful dinner with all 3 of my grandchildren. I know you would be happy about that.
I didn't make it to Police Week this year, but really hope I can go on your 20th.
The country is in such tumultuous times, but I remember your, "Keep your chin up, Mom" so I don't give up and stay in the fight .

Always in our hearts and souls, and loving you beyond eternity

Officer Lasater
I learned of your fate from your mom who had mentioned it while writing a reflection of one of my co-workers, Officer Tom Szafranski in Jacksonville, Florida.
GOD BLESS YOU, sir! You are, and will always be a hero! To your surviving family, you will be reunited with Larry again one day. I know this from personal experience as, I was badly injured by a suspect and died 3 times in the trauma unit of the hospital.
Rest in God’s Peace brother.

Your mom has taken on the task to leave hundreds of messages on other fallen officers memorial pages. Thank you for your mom becoming part of this large family. I feel like in some small way we knew you too and also mourn your loss and what could have been. Your son and loved ones will carry your name into eternity. Therefore I see that though you are not here physically, you will live on forever. RIP
