Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Watt Franklin Morgan

Friday Me and your Granddaughter ( My mother, Elaine Owens O'Day) visited yours and your wife's graveside. As we stood there, Mom would reflect on the memories she had of you and Bartie. I never got the opportunity to meet you but thank you for your service and all you have done in the line of duty.

I never met you, but mom (Dolly) has spoken about you all my life. How great a man you were and the fact that you were like a father to her. I am proud of what you did for our county and honored that you have finally after all these years been recognized for all you did. Some day we will meet and I know Bartie aka Ms. Morgan and Gram (Becky) are with you, and that comforts me. Tell them both Hi for me and I look forward to the day we all can be together. I love you very much, Little Becky

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 46th 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
