You are not forgotten, Grandpa Joe. While we never met, your legacy, bravery and service to others has never been forgotten. Your children and your entire family remembers you today and always. We wish we could have met you.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

I'm sorry I never got to meet you grandpa as I was born 9 years after you were killed. I know my dad missed you greatly, and all 5 of your children did a great job taking care of grandma.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 67th 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.

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

Patrolman Herzog,
On today, the 61st anniversary of your death, I would like to say thank you for your service to the citizens of Austin. It's a travesty of justice that the driver of the vehicle that struck you wasn't at least charged with vehicular homicide.
