Chief Moyer was my great-great grandfather. I didn't know much about him until recently. Sounds like he was a great man. Proud that he's one of my ancestors.

Chief Moyer was my great grandfather. Although I never got to meet him I feel so proud to be related to him. I heard he was a man of great integrity, strength and loyalty to his office. My mother told me that he was very well thought of and respected and was a friend to all. Thank you patrolman Bates for the very kinds words you said about him. It sounds like you are a man of integrity as well and I'm sure you will leave a legacy like my grandfather.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 73rd 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 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.
