I was working in the hospital on July 21, 1971. I remember letting him in the hospital that morning and a brief chat. My greatest regret today is that Leo's murder and heroism are often overshadowed by the events on August 21, 1971. Leo's job that day was to provide security watch for an inmate who had been stabbed days earlier. The inmate's door was locked and Leo had the key. When he saw the 2 murderers approaching he immediately knew their intent and threw the keys through the foodport of an adjacent locked room. Others may forget. I never will.

Officer Davis,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of California. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 39th 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
I also worked at SQ as a CO, but did not commence work until several years after your death. I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hope to meet some of your family at a NORCAL COPS function one day.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
Rest In Peace.
