To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 135th anniversary year 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

On this the 131st anniversary of your death your sacrifice and service are remembered.
Rest in peace as you patrol with St. Michael and all fallen
heroes in heaven.
Your story marks the passing of time, and it marks the sacrifice you gave.
The account of the incident reveals dedication to service and
it relays the tremendous loss to yourself and your family. The child you never new I am sure grew up to know about you.
