To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged 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.

I am sure you are proud that your son has continued your legacy of protecting and serving.

Don and I went thru the academy together. Our class was a very tight knit group and We enjoyed competing with each other especially when running a race. He was a great guy and a great cop who was with us for too short a time. I still think and remember Him till this day.

When I was first hired by FLPD in Hune of 1967, Don Kirby befriended me. He introduced me to people throughout the community, and taught me a lot about what it meant to be a street cop. He wasn't a motor officer yet. One of my most vivid memories was of a night during Spring Break on Fort Lauderdale Beach, while I was still a rookie. It was during the "Where the Boys Are" movie days (starring Connie Francis), when college kids from all over the nation swarmed to Fort Lauderdale Beach during spring break. The beach hotels hired off-duty detail officers then to handle the rowdy kids. One night, Don & I were working adjacent hotels on the beach. Don was dealing with a disorderly drunk (not a college kid but a local) and called me for a backup. Don placed this jerk under arrest and the fight was on. The guy was big and strong and on something, and it was a hell of a fight. The three of us rolled around in the northbound lane of A1A around 3 AM, wrestling, kicking, punching, biting (I think only the bad guy did the biting if I remember right, but I could be wrong)and dodging passing cars. Finally we got this mutt cuffed and called for transport. We got to our feet and inventoried our cuts, bruises, and torn uniforms. Don turned to me with a grin and said, "Welcome to police work, kid!" Hey, welcome to heaven, Don.

RIP somehow does not seem fitting enough. Motor officers a special breed of police officers. Their attention to duty is reflected in their service to their job.Certainly a higher risk assignment due to the enviroment they work in. Join your brothers in the endless ride to protect and serve.Forever gratefull for your service.
