To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 53rd anniversary year 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.

Just wanted to say that after all these years you have not been forgotten. Your Son Mel continues on with his work to never let officers in Illinois such as yourself, be forgotten. He knows the pain involved in losing a loved one in the line of duty. I salute him for his work in comforting family members and with Illinois Gold Star and the assistance he provides for the Illinois Memorial. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten. Being an old timer, please look after my son Mike. He loved telling stories and I know you being from the days when cops were cops, have some great stories to tell him.
