Sondra: I am researching everything I can about the plane crash that killed your father, and the men who were there. Like you, I lost a relative I never met in person: my grandfather Irven Stevenson was also on that flight. I have newspaper clippings and some info I can share with you. Hopefully, you will see this!
Very touching to see a memorial page here for Inspector Tom. My heart goes out to you.
You are welcome to contact me.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 74th anniversary 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 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.

"Final Call"
An Angel In The Sky Must Leave His Place Of Rest,
Gently Tucking His Wings Beneath His Armored Vest.
For Duty Has Called, There Is Much Work To Do.
Little Did He Know, This One Is Dressed In Blue.
Arriving On The Scene, He Knows Just What To Say,
"Follow Me, Fallen Brother, I'll Show You The Way."
"Your Duty Has Ended, Your Work Is Now Through."
"Come Hang Your Hat Beside Mine, I'm A Cop, Too."
Walter was in our service long before I came in. The job is quite different now. But some things never change, like our appreciation for the bravery and selfless acts of those who came before. As I near retirement I sincerely wish he had the same chance.
Blessings from USPIS Badge #3942 to his family and all those who loved him.

It will be an honor for Chaplain Carol and myself to honor you in 2006 at the National Police Week events in May in Washington, D.C. God bless you, your family, friends and co-worker Postal Inspection Service friends.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
