Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am Walter Luedtke's granddaughter. Such a sad day for our family. My Mom and Grandmother didn't talk about this often but it really had an effect on their lives. One thing the above didn't mention is that the family heard the shot but did't know at the time of the tragedy that had occurred. I have many newspaper pictures and articles about this sad event and the following trial. The Milwaukee Journal did a fantastic job of covering this and I'm proud to be able to remember him even though I never met him.

Officer Luedtke,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th anniversary 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.
