No passage of time will ever erase your service and sacrifice. Rest in peace always.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. 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.

Agent Nicola, on this 80th anniversary of your tragic accident I wish to thank you for your efforts on behalf of the citizens of the United States. Prohibition was not a popular law but someone had to enforce it and you took up the challenge. It is truly sad that it cost you your life and took you from your wife and daughter. No doubt they missed you deeply but also, I have no doubt that you never strayed from them. If your daughter is still with us, and she may very well be, I’m sure you are with her still.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
