Reflections for Patrolman Otto W. Motz
Grandpa,
It has been 100 years since you bravely sacrificed your life in the line of duty.
Though I never met you, your memory was always kept alive by Nana and your only daughter who always shared her love of you.
I have continued to instill that love and respect to my children and grandchildren. You will never be forgotten and will always be Honored by your family.
God Bless You

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 90th 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.
Time never dimishes respect, not even 90 years.
Rest In Peace
