Patrick McGovern was engaged to my great-aunt, Margaret Walsh, at the time of his death. I still visit his grave at Mt. Olivet when I visit hers. RIP Patrick. You continue to be remembered.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87th anniversary year 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.
