Nancy, your dad will always be remembered and I'm sure he's watching over the children he left behind. It sickens me to the core when a police officer goes to his "job" to "serve & protect" each day, and has to think about his own life being taken by the creeps in this society.
We run away when we hear gunshots, yet police officers run towards them. I wish you and your other siblings peace.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 51rst anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged 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.
