I have been remiss in my duties of honoring Officer William Gratton. I began law enforcement 25 years ago not knowing I had family history in the field. Several years ago I was told about a great uncle who died in the line of duty and as we prepare to lay to rest an officer in our area I must say thank you Uncle William for you service.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 88th 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
