Passing of retired Inspector Hubert Simmons

We are deeply saddened to report on the passing of retired Inspector Hubert Simmons who is our longest serving officer having first joined the Bermuda Police in June 1950.   He served with distinction for 30 years and retired in February 1980.

Hubert was, without doubt, one of the most popular officers in the Police Force.  He served in a wide variety of departments, including Central (Uniform), Parishes, CID, Special Branch, Cycle Squad,  Press Liaison Office, Administration, Coroners Officer, and latterly as the Inspector IC Western Division.  An active and founder member of the Police Choir he was also an outstanding golfer.

We have expressed our sincere condolences to his wife, Lois, and to the Simmons family on their sad loss.  We would also encourage all those who knew Hubert to pass on your condolences in the obituary column in the Royal Gazette dated 29th December 2014, which can be found at http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theroyalgazette/obituary.aspx?n=hubert-edward-simmons&pid=173641317

We understand that the funeral will be held at St. James' Church, Somerset, at 2pm on Saturday 3rd January 2015
