On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USN. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I am a retired SLMPD Lieutenant, now the Executive Director of The Police Retirement Systemof St. Louis, the organization that provides pension benefits to commissioned members of the department,surviving spouses and dependent children. While I was just a freshman in college when Patrolman Simmons died, his story resides on my bookshelf "In the Line of Duty" as the 121st St. Louis police officer killed in the line of duty.

One of my police officer retiree friends is dedicated to enrolling our deceased officers, and recently sought my help in determining the final resting place of Officer Simmons, and any other information that might be found. Our records note the surviving spouse and two daughters, Janette and Jeanne, and even a name and address of your step-father, but strangely do not include the death certificate.

I have sought the help of contacts in the media and will follow up on any leads that may come my way.

Officer Simmons was my father. I was only nine months old when he passed. I got to know him through my grandmother, his mother, who is now passed. My older sister is a police officer in the State of Georgia, and I am a court reporter in West Virginia. Even though we did not get to know him, he has truely inspired both of us. We love you Dad!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 42nd 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.

Rest In Peace
