To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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.

Officer Keating - Three Fridays ago, on a very rainy morning, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Peace Officers Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.
Thank you for your service to the people of the City of Denver and the State of Colorado.
May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

I am very proud of my grandfather even though I never knew him. He married my grandmother after my grandfather died in 1918. I don't hesitate to still call him my grandfather. I heard wonderful stories about my Hero.. I work in detention and he will always have my love and respect. Brave men like him have earned it.
