It's now been 85 years since your senseless murder, Captain Grimes. I'm overjoyed to see that your descendants have kept your memory alive. They are rightfully proud and I have no doubt, you are proud of them as well.

God Bless, Brother and may your eternal rest remain ever peaceful.

On this father's day I am thinking of our family legacy and all that changes for future generations when an officer is killed in the line of duty. How does that change their children, their grandchildren, and my generation - their great grandchildren? We hope you are proud of the good we are doing with our lives.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 75th 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.

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

Rest In Peace.

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in your memory. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. You served us well......RIP brother.
