Rest in Peace. I was one of Richard's training officers and he and I had walked foot patrol on the pike the night before his death.. Richard was killed in the 65 LA watts riots in a scuffle over a shotgun by rioters who had come to Long Beach to continue their rioting.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 48th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged 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 pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

This past Fall I addressed the Board of Directors of the LBPOA and asked for their help for preserving the death penalty in California for the 43 cop killers on death row and the other death row killers who murdered 225 innocent children and many other victims. They stood with victims and it will not be forgotten.

I lived in Long Beach during the Watts riots. It was a very scary time for a child. I remember seeing many officers with helmets and shotguns. I made a vow I would be like them someday. Rest in peace, Sir.

The local papers have been showing photographs of people celebrating the 40th aniversary of the so called "Watts Revolt", but we know the truth it was a Riot. As they celebrate we remember the lives that were taken of two fine law enforcement officers, yourself and Los Angeles County Deputy Ludlow.

It's been a long time, nearly 40 years, but I have always remembered you. We worked together walking the LB Pike, a night or so before the Watts Riots when you left us. That is how I have always remembered you, your comradery, and your friendship. You have never been forgotten.
