Very sad … that is SO young to have suffered a fatal heart attack. Prayers for the family!
Pete was a Great Friend and Great CoWorker! We will miss him very much!
On behalf of the members of FOP Lodge 128, we send our sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers to Officer Pete Simon, his family and friends.
While I did not know Officer Simon, several persons in our organization did. My wife also know Pete. Without a doubt, all have said Pete was a person who when you met him you instantly wanted a long friendship. Pete was also someone who was eager or take over a call for service so that officer could go back on patrol.
RIP Brother.

Pete was an honorable and gentle man. He would always make me smile during the bad times when we worked together in Hawaii. He will be missed.

He will truely be missed,he always greeted me with a warm smile and a kind word passing through the APG gate. Recently he would crack a joke and enjoy giving me a hard time,always ending with a laugh. I will miss him passing me on my daily walking on APG. He always showed me respect,and I respected him and his position. I will remember him for his kindness and great sense of humor for myself and his job.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and department. 41 is truely too too young.
