On the 100th anniversary of his passing, we remember. Our great grandfather died protecting two young women from being harassed on the NYC subway, trying to preserve civility - a true hero.

The medal and newspaper clippings remain with the family.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 97th 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.
Rest In Peace

So many people could learn from your actions. Not just as a police officer, but as a man who wanted to help a lady in distress. God bless you for your sacrifice.
