Deputy Sheriff Gore,

On today, the 95th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Logan County. It sickens me that that POS Governor pardoned your murderer after he only served three years in prison.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 93rd anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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.
