To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 58th 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 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

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends and all the members of the Galveston Police Department. We were made safer by his service and we all suffer their tragic loss.

You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
