Deputy Fish, it has now been 118 years since your senseless murder at the hands of nobodies. You have not been forgotten, nor will you be.

We can all only hope and pray that your murderers faced true justice, if not in this life, then in the next.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 111th 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.

Your memory will always be honored and revered for time never diminishes respect.

Rest In Peace
