Your heroism and service is honored today, the 63rd 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 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 never knew my uncle Jim since he died a year before I was born; however, I feel like I knew him from all the family stories. I love him just the same. I have this exact picture of him hanging in my house. His younger brother by two years (my grandfather) was also a Baltimore City police officer and died three months after my uncle from a heart attack, but it was not work related. He loved his brother very much which probably did not help his condition. His name was Thomas P. Joyce. I love you both.
