Uncle Robert, it was a privilege and an honor to attend the May 13, 2013 Candlelight Vigil at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC for the addition of your name to the Memorial. It has ben a long time coming and way over due. It is also a privilege and an honor to be able to say that I was able to serve as a member of the same department, the Iredell County North Carolina Sheriff's Department, and be able to retire. I wish I could have had the honor to have met you. You make me proud to be related to you and to have served in your foot steps.
I have often wondered why I chose a career in law enforcement and with the same department as you. I was not aware of your story until 1991 when a friend showed me a newspaper article about your death. I think my journey from that day until I attended the Candlelight Vigil when your name was read and honors paid answered that question.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 90th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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
