Today marks the 86th anniversary of your sad passing. We can only hope those responsible faced true justice, if not in this life, then in the next.
You were the same age I am now. It gives cause to reflect and ponder the 'what ifs'.
My prayers are with your descendants who no doubt hold you in high esteem.
RIP, Brother and God Bless.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 80th 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

Lieutenant J.Cavagnaro,
Clearly, I never knew you, your life and death was way before my time. But your work lives on, your job is never ending, but you have been called home. Rest in peace, you fought the good fight, you served well and justice will be found in the very end. God bless to you and your family, from then to now.
