Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

October 18 marked the 3 year anniversary of your passing at the hands of a deadly disease. To those who knew and love you, it must seem like yesterday. Too many people, and too many of our Sisters and Brothers succumbed to Covid and sadly, more probably will. We all had our scares, but tragically, heroes like you were dealt the full hand.

Your family, both at work and especially at home, are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

Officer Simonetti, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Officer Simonetti, when we lose a Brother or Sister in the line of duty, it's never easy, but in our own nuclear family in the academic world, it's just a little tougher. Thank you for helping to protect 'the future' and for all your service over the years. So long as those who know and love you best keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone from them.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

End of Watch Wednesday, October 13, 2021.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
