I still miss you like crazy. I have your gray tie that your Mom aka "Ms. Sassy" gave me after we went to the Police Memorial in Washington that year. It still hangs in my room where it will remain.

Love Always

Here it is almost 22 years later and not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. You will remain forever in my heart. I watched as you left for the last time and held your hand briefly, a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life. Still here with much love in my heart for you. The next police ball we attend together will be in Heaven!

Today is the 20 anniversary of your vicious murder at the hands of a meaningless nobody. I hope and pray that if he is not still in prison, it is only because he died there. The only way justice would be served.

God Bless you, hero, and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Dear Gary,
I never met you, but i met your mother at your father's funeral. I also met your daughter. I am going to your grave today, I am not quite sure how to get there. I thank you for your service and even though you are not on this earth anymore, I am sure you see all from heaven. We are in chaos, we are all lost, and we are all trying to do the right thing. We are all fighting over religion, we are fighting over racial discrimination, from all angles! Black versus white, white versus black! Police officers, firefighters, soldiers, paramedics, emts, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, neighbors, mothers, fathers, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, volunteers and so on. There are many good souls on this earth as you well know. Many of us know right from wrong, and we still falter. We pray, we cry, we love, we hope, and we go on. Sometimes we judge, we get angry, we wonder why injustice happens. Then we yell, scream, cry, hate, blame and judge again. Over and over these things happen. There are drugs on our streets, there are child molesters in our neighborhoods, there are gangs, there is war and imminent danger for every human being on earth at this time. There are the wonderful elderly people, sober people, people trying to stay sober, there are ex gang members even trying to trust in God and recover from drugs and change. There is good and evil, in every aspect of all of our lives all over the world. Gary, Saturday the 20th of september 2014 will be approximately nineteen years, since you gave your life to protect others. With that being said, and there is so much more. Gary please know that, your daughter is okay, and she is right, you are a guardian angel. Gary please tell our father God, that we are sorry. Please ask him to forgive us, for we really don't know what we are doing. Amen

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 18th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged 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 that call you beloved for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
