You had a badge,
that you wore proud.
What you did was important,
though you never said this out loud.
Respect did not come,
from the wages you were paid.
Or from callous statements,
that in the press were made.
Respect is in the homage,
shared by those who truly know.
Your service is what kept,
light in the world aglow.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first 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.

Detective Colver was my grandfather. He was killed before I was born, therefore I never knew him. I know about him through my grandmother and mother. The gun that killed him is on display at the J M Davis Arms and Historical Museum in Claremore, OK.
