A Veteran and a HERO, who continued to serve his fellow man, to make the world better, safer place. While, I bear the same name, and I too was a Police Officer (Cleveland, Ohio. Retired 3/6/2019) I am no blood relation (that I am aware of) But, we are all Brothers & Sisters in the Law Enforcement Community.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Your memory will always be honored and revered for time never diminishes respect.

I recently saw a movie entitled War Horse, a film tha was about WWI and I reflected on how brave our military was on those distant battlefields surrounded by violent noise and carnage. Thank you for defending our country as a WWI vet. I thnk how happy your family must have been upon your safe return only to lose you at the hands of hoodlums.
Rest In Peace

I saw your photo and story on ODMP and noticed you did not have any reflections.
I felt I had to say that even though you died many years ago, your sacrifice is just as great now as it was then. Thank you for your bravery and meritorious service you gave to your department, your city and your nation. God Bless.
