Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Randy I didn't know you that well but I remember you would always speak when you walked past me. I just saw you a week and a half ago at 77th Sta and I can't believe you are gone. You were the best of the best. Its time to hang up your Sam Browne, we will take it from here. You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my brother.

Officer Simmons was an instructor of a course that I attended some years ago reference warrant services. I was very impressed first with his physical appearance and his command presence. Secondly by his level of knowledge and his willingness to share past experiences. He was a serious instructor and he didn't pull any punches on his critique of my performance. I appreciated that. To his family and fellow officers I want to extend condolences from myself and my team.

Officer Simmons, thank you for our valor and years of service. You were among the brave, the caring, the honorable. You lived your life so that we as a society could continue. Without you, America would quickly plunge into a state of anarchy. We owe everything to you. What a truly sad day for all of us. Again: thank you. You will be missed.

Officer Simmons,
"Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the conquest of it."
You lived your life in courage, you left this world with honor.
There is no greater gift that a man can give, besides his life, for what he believes in.
You are the reason my children understand the word "Hero".
Rest in peace, my brother.
God bless you and your family.
