You are my grandfather. I think I have your nose. Rest in peace.

Is anyone out there who remembers him?

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 59th 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

"Devil Dawg:

Why enter alone?
Why wadcutters?
Why taken to Heaven after only 07 months on the job?

You hit him, emptied Your revolver, and You were already down, and that anal pore shot You again, and even took one of Your casings as a souvenir.

You survived Wake Island. You survived a severe beating
during an earlier probationary incident.

Apparently God needed more security in Heaven, to keep all of the evil souls of WWII from entering.

Tonight, a fellow Cowboy and I will be making a toast in Your honor, at a local "watering hole."

May You Rest - In - Peace.

Brother Covalesk,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
