Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Trooper Morris,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was in the 11th grade when Trooper Morris was murdered. My friends, cousins and I would often go to a little country store on Dobbins road from school to snack for lunch and, often Trooper Morris came by also. He was so friendly and joined in with whatever we were usually laughing talking about like one of us. At a time when young people our age were very "police shy" because we liked to speed, it was extraordinary for us to have him as our friend. In the years since, I have often recalled how, through a senseless act, we lost such a good brave person. I will always admire him and feel the loss as I attempt to recognize the feeling of loss his loved ones and friends must have felt.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 50th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Your wife suffered such tragic losses, first your baby and then you. I hope she had the strength and support to make a life for herself. I pray that she did.

Rest In Peace.

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in your memory. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever.
RIP brother. AC
