Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lester Gwinn was my grand-uncle. I was born almost 3 years after his death so I never knew him except from stories told by my family. I would love to read any reminiscence from anyone who might have known him personally. I would think there are not many of those left.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 57th 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

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

Rest In Peace.

I was in the operating room the night he died. WE all loved him and everyone cried from the surgeon to the anasthesiologist. He used to bring us Krispy Kreme donuts when we worked in the emergency room. We called him our gentle giant.
