To the Grandfather I never knew,

I was born in July of 1963 over year after your passing. We never had the heart felt exchanges/teachings that are passed from grandfathers to grandsons. Having known little of your life for much of mine there has always been something missing. When mom and I visited the Idaho State Troopers Memorial, I gained a far greater knowledge and respect for the lineage from which I came. Someone once told me “Remember who you are and what you represent”. That gives me a goal to strive for in the way I live my life and what I pass on to my children. The greater good is serving and helping all those who need my assistance. Knowing the sacrifice and dedication that you displayed in your career has given me great pride and a belief in my own abilities. So after fifty years of my life, I have grown to realize that you have passed on to me a core belief system that has held me true to my course in life.

Thank you, your Grandson

Corporal Newman,

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful and kind a person you are to have been out on the highway working around the clock to help those in need. You are an inspiration to all human beings. I hope your kind spirit lives on in every single person you helped.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 50th anniversary year 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.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today.
Rest In Peace.
