Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd 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.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Grannis and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

Clayton Grannis is my Grandfather. His memory was kept alive by my Grandmother and my Father to all his Grandchildren. He is truly a hero who we are very proud of and love dearly. My father was 9 years old at the time of Grandpa's death and after all these years my father Tom Grannis at age 86 was laid to rest at his father's side. Re-united again!
