Detective Grous, the risks taken while patrolling train yards are always present. My Dad spent several years working on the railroad, five as a cop and he told me stories.
Thank you for helping to protect one of America's greatest assets, it's railroads and for the time you spent in other law enforcement jobs. You obviously lived to serve.
God Bless and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

We cannot fully honor our heroes of the present without paying tribute to our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 98th anniversary year 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 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.
