Great uncle Sheriff Albert Estopinal Jr. I went into the morge of nopd records the basement to get reports was going to write book about moonshiners killing you both but I was warned against it. I know truth but can't say.

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 86th 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 the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 82 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Great Uncle Joseph I worked hard on getting you and your partner added to the wall in Dc. You died in 1923 killed by Rum Runners. Your brother was Sheriff at the time. I never got to meet you but the stories that came down through the family made me glad to be 3rd generation law enforcement on my daddys side. and 2 on my mothers side with my great grandfather Sheriff Paul Berthelot.
You never be forgotten. You are ridding the beats of heavens street with my Daddy now.
love your great neice Dee Dee
