I attended the wreath ceremony this year for William Meredith King. It was an incredible display of honor given by the Jack County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Tom Spurlock contacted me about trying to find the grave on the King-Whitsitt land that has been in the families since the mid 1800's. We located the small graveyard, Tom had it cleaned up and then the wreath was placed on the grave attended by seven Sheriff's Dept. Officers, two members of the Jacksboro Police Dept., our Constable, our County Judge, Sheriff Tom's wife, Stacy, the High School Band Director, who played Taps and two direct relatives, myself and Virginia Shanafelt and Virginia's husband, Sam Shanafelt. I can't begin to relate the emotions that engulfed me by this wonderful display of brotherhood by these fellow officers and friends.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and twenty-fifth 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.
