Your heroism and service is honored today, the 104th 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.

Your pictures show that you were a very handsome young man, and I am sorry you were robbed of your life so young. How nice that your descendants can remember you on this site.

Every man has moments of self doubt and adversity, but, it is what each man does in these moments which makes all the difference.

For your service as you are honoured as no fallen officer should be without a reflection.
