My father, Mac, left his reflection here in 2006. Sadly, he passed Thanksgiving week, November 2014. He spoke of you many times, sharing stories of your family and what a great patriarch you were. I’m glad he shared those wonderful stories with me.
Love, your great-grandson,
Jim (named after you)

Love and respect for a fallen hero and member of the Martin family. I never knew of you, until my brother forwarded this information based on family genealogy research.

I remember your sister's mourning for you ( Mary Lou Robertson Martin ). She was my great grandmother and had your hat/coat as a momento.
REST IN PEACE.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 80th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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.

Dear Papa,
You were taken from us before I got to know you. Your legacy has been an inspiration to many, especially me. You were kind, good and well respected by the community. You loved God and your family. Your good deeds have been told and retold. You continue to live in our hearts.
Love, Your Grandson,
