My Grandfather Walter Hart, My mom's dad, he died before any of his grandkids were born. We know his legacy. Wish we had a chance to meet such a great man. I know he is always watching over all of us.

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 55th 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, 51 years after you were killed.

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

Rest In Peace.

I worked with an officer who was a young boy that lived on Detective Hart's street, and told me of the day he was shot. He was outside when the officers told his wife of the incident and described how he could hear her crying from down the street...
