A large wooden plaque with your picture, badge and duty related items hangs in my office. It was built by and hung in the office of (ret.) Captain Kenneth Blackwell before I received it from him. I pray it continue to hang in memoriam for all time.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 69th 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 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.

You stood up against evil when many could not. You chose to serve the people of Pinal County with the upmost of bravery and integrity. You are a true hero. I am proud to serve for the same Department as you did. Rest in peace brother, I have the Coolidge watch now.
