Your heroism and service is honored today, the 92nd 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace

Capt. Wells, today marks the 88th anniversary of your tragic death. You saw your roll in law enforcement as a roll in public safety as a whole and tried to help firefighters doing their job. You are a hero. The 38 years that the City of Newburyport had you in its service was no doubt 38 very fruitful years.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
