Rest in Peace My Brother.
We lost you so many years ago, but if we keep you in our hearts, you will never be forgotten.
I never got a chance to work with you, as you were taken from us so long ago.
But, you can rest knowing we are still keeping Desoto safe.
Rest in Peace my Brother.
We will walk the beat here, as we know you are walking the Golden Streets.
Rest In Peace My Brother.
We will never forget you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 122nd 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.

Time never dimishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered.
