This was my great grandfather. From what I was told he was a great man. He was shot in the back while drinking his daily coffee and conversing with the pharmacist. The scumbag who killed him barley served any time. Most of the family of the murderer is still living a life of crime in the small town of Ansted.

I would like to say that I regret not getting to meet you...my grandmother, Helen Nuckols, has never let me or any of her family forget the brave and courageous man that you were. The fact that your murderer only served 5 yrs. continues to sicken her and this family. You were and still are deeply loved and missed very much!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 78th 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.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored amd revered. I think your killer beng paroled after serving only five years for fatally shooting you in the back was disgraceful and a travesty of justice.

Rest In Peace.

Thank you for your service Sir, RIP knowing that you are missed but not forgotten. It makes me sick to know your muderer got paroled in 1939, justice wasn't served but he will answer for what he did someday. You were a Hero Sir.
