3000 miles and almost 30 years away from the Institute, my feelings at the loss of Officer Collier have reminded me that my membership in the MIT community is unbreakable. My thoughts and prayers go to his family, friends and everyone in the community who have been touched, as I was, by his tragic death.

I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Officer Collier and to the Institute. Decades have passed since my tenure at MIT, but I will always remember the professionalism, friendliness, and bemused tolerance displayed by the CPs towards all the quirky members of the MIT community. I would like to think that Sean might have been one of the CPs who patiently explained to members of Concourse that creating an ice rink on the roof of Building 35 was probably not the best of ideas. I salute you, Officer Collier.

History gives us many examples in which individuals or group of individuals have attempted to remove by force the world of freedom and justice cherished by other people. In similar fashion, the goodwill and sense of duty of individuals have once and again taken over to protect the "many" against the "few". As a free community we feel proud of deeds such as that carried out by Officer Collier, even though it came at a great cost. May his life and ultimate sacrifice serve to remind us of the values we treasure and of their vulnerability.

We hope you will accept our deepest condolences for your loss and deepest appreciation for the job that Sean, and fellow officers, provided for our MIT kids.
