It’s hard to believe it’s been forty years Jack. Not a week or two goes by that I am not reminded of your bear hugs, hearty laugh or big smile. You may be gone from us, but you have never been forgotten.

39 years ago ton8ght was the last time I saw you Jack, spoke with you, heard your laugh, kissed your cheek and felt your big hug. The next evening December 10 you were tragically taken from us.
I am sure you waiting with open arms (maybe open wings) on March 1 to welcome Mom into heaven.
I am sure she was overwhelmed with love and joy being with you again.
You are missed and loved always.

Jack you are loved and missed every day.
38 years have gone by without hearing your laughter, feeling your great big hugs, listening to your stories, and seeing your face.

Jack, I think of you often.
You were larger than life, a teddy bear of a man with an infectious smile and twinkling eyes that lit up every room you entered.
I was blessed to have known you.
RIP.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 28th 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.


I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
Rest In Peace
