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

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 65th 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.

Rest In Peace.

On today, the 60th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of New York City. It took two more years, but the scumbags who murdered you finally got the justice they deserved.
