Your heroism and service is honored today, the 46th 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.

It stuck me when I first heard of your loss though we never met and it was years before my career began. I am glad that your sacrifice will now receive the recognition that it rightly deserves.

Rest In Peace brother.
