William Drury was my grandfather although unfortunatly I never got to know him very well as I was only 5 years old when he was shot. I understand that some recognition is going to be presented in his honor in the near future. I would like to be kept up to date as to what and when. There was also another officer shot at the same time, although he survived he suffered for a number of years due to the head wound he suffered. His name was "Buck" Paine(Spelling?). He was kept on the force although he could not fully function in his police duties. That was how good officers were taken care of in those days.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 57th 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.
