To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged 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.

My friend, my brother, I cannot describe the sickining feeling that I feel. I can only hope that you did not suffer. If you did, well may the people who did this horrific act suffer. They cannot suffer enough in my book. You and your family are in my prayers brother.
