This afternoon, in a quiet and deeply-felt ceremony at the Sydney Police Centre, another thirteen names were added, and the memories of another thirteen dedicated NSW Police Force employees were honoured, at the NSW Police Force Service Memorial:
It is with the deepest regret that I inform those Retired, Former, Serving Police and friends that James O’TOOLE succumbed to the ‘ Black Dog ‘ at the very young age of 23 whilst Serving with NSW Police Force.
May you Forever Rest In Peace mate and may your parents and brother know that you were respected and loved by those who Served alongside of you.
Bruins would like extend a warm welcome to all community members who would like gather to celebrate and share memories in remembrance of James O’Toole.
The Bruins family will live stream the service, at the stadium with doors opening from 10.30am, followed by light refreshments.
Over the coming days, we please ask members to send an email to caitlin@bruinsbasketball.com.au and please RSVP if you would like to attend the service as well as any photos and memories of James to be shared at the service.
It is with a very heavy heart that Bankstown Basketball Association mourns the loss of referee James O’Toole.
James has long been part of the Bruins family, and has represented the Bruins as an exceptional referee, supervisor, and player. He is known for his cheeky smile, witty conversations, and extraordinary dedication and passion for the education, support and ongoing development of Bruins Junior referees.
Over James’s many years of basketball service, James was awarded numerous prestigious Steve Well’s Junior Referee of the Year Awards as recognition for his hard work to his craft. James represented Bankstown Bruins at both New South Wales State Championships and Senior Finals Weekends, his efforts also took him interstate as a referee for New South Wales at many Australian Junior Championships, at which he always did the association proud.
In more recent years James sought out a professional career as part of the New South Wales Police Force, however, always continued to find time to be part of and support the Bruins family.
We are honoured to have had such an exceptional gentleman as part of the Bruins Family and James’s legacy will continue to live on in the people who he inspired and worked so closely with.
As a tribute to James, we invite the entire Bruins community to wear a blue ribbon on their uniform to signify the amazing life that he lived.
Rest In Peace James, we will continue to honor you with Bruins Pride and Dignity.
Never did I expect to say a funeral was beautiful but yours certainly was, James.
You were so obviously loved and cared about by so many including our family.
You certainly made a huge impression during your short life.
With you all today in my thoughts and prayers.
Aunty Kathy and Kevin. ????

Front row left to right: Geoff Wormleaton, Clive Steirn, Warren Chambers, Rudy Hereth and Sam Bass.
Sam Bass was my father. I just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know of his passing and how much this group meant to him.
Last Sunday dad lost a battle he had been fighting and took his own life.
Anyone that knew Dad knew him as a lovable goofball with a giant heart that would give you the shirt of his own back.
Unfortunately, now one of the most beautiful and helpful human beings I’ve had the pleasure of knowing didn’t reach out for help when he needed it most.
My sister and I both served, and along with everyone in this group I’m sure we’ve all had more than our fair share of Friends lost to mental illness. I can tell you nothing I’ve experienced yet hits you quite like when it’s your father.
It’s ok to not be ok.
Please, please, please ask your mates how they’re doing, know YOU ARE NOT ALONE, and reach out to someone when you need.
Given the current circumstances we won’t be holding a funeral as such. Rather Sam will be cremated and once life is a bit less COVID crazy we scatter his ashes in Shoal Bay some time next year. Anyone is welcome.
Thanks to everyone in this group for allowing me to post and know that he loved you all and was on here multiple times a day.
Please feel free to send me a message on here if you feel you need and I’ll let everyone know more about the final goodbye when we do.
Regards

‘I never would have thought my heart would endure this much heartbreak in one lifetime,’ she wrote.
‘My heart is so heavy, so broken. I just can’t fathom how this is real, how you are no longer here on earth.’
Michelle said she was shocked by his sudden death and wished he could see how loved and missed he was already.
‘You and the kids are my whole world I don’t know how I will go on without you by my side, I know I will, have to for the kids but this is not the way it was suppose to be babe, we still had a lifetime together,’ she said.
‘I hope you are at peace now, I hope you have found our Aspen girl and are giving her the biggest hug. Cuddle her for me and tell her Mummy loves her.
‘I love you endlessly babe, I wish my love and the love of your girls could have kept you here with us.’
‘My heart will forever ache for you.’
Stacey Hollands, Michelle’s cousin, launched a GoFundMe page to help the family financially as she braces for the future without her husband.
The community rallied to support the family, with the fundraising campaign so far reaching $15,920 of its $100,000 goal.
The tragedy comes almost three years after the couple lost their four-month-old daughter Aspen in 2018
Tributes have begun pouring in on social media for the father-of-three, who was remembered as a ‘beautiful’ person.

‘My heart and soul is broken today. I never ever would have thought one family, one beautiful family could possibly endure so much heartache. I will treasure every single memory of him,’ another person wrote.

I just can’t fathom how this is real, how you are no longer here on earth, I wish you could see how loved you are, how missed you already are.
You and the kids are my whole world I don’t know how I will go on without you by my side, I know I will, have to for the kids but this is not the way it was suppose to be babe, we still had a lifetime together.
I hope you are at peace now, I hope you have found our Aspen girl and are giving her the biggest hug, cuddle her for me and tell her Mummy loves her.
I love you endlessly babe, I wish my love and the love of your girls could have kept you here with us, my heart will forever ache for you.
Every single cent will help.
Please help me help Michelle and her beautiful family for what’s ahead for her.
By all accounts, he was a Terrific Police Officer and highly regarded by everyone who knew him

21 July 2018: The only certainty in life is death……We all die one day. Last night my father died. No one can say that he lost the fight cancer may have taken his body, but he never gave up or gave in. One of our proudest moments together was when I graduated from the Police Academy so I thought that was a fitting picture. The death on any parent is an invaluable lasting blow. Because no one ever loves you again like that. Until we meet again! Gone but never forgotten.
Posted to his personal FB page on the day he died. 13 April 2021 @ 8.13am. It was a ‘cut and paste’, or a Share from: Jim Casey 9 April 2021 @ 10.58am Tough times never last, but tough people do.” WEATHERING THE STORMS OF LIFE Life happens, not just for me but for all of us. When the storm has passed, put your energy into rebuilding your life, don’t waste time looking back. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Always to believe you the courage and strength to push through this and that tomorrow will be a better day. 16 of his friends either Liked it, Cared or gave a Heart. 2 days later, a friend, Tony Blake, asked Craig: ” Craig, what’s going on with you mate? Have you got support up there? ” The question went unanswered of course.
Megan Here …
It is with much sadness and disbelief I need to let our family and friends know that Craig took his life last night.
He has fought so many Demons and suffered immense mental anguish for so many years. The nightmares, the flashbacks, the anxiety and the depression were exhausting and debilitating and he needed peace.
He decided it was time to check out of this life and while we are heart broken we understand and we wish things were different but unfortunately there is a complete lack of support for our first responders especially after their careers have ended.
He was tired and as much as he loved us he decided it was time to end the pain and finally be at peace.

We love you.
We will miss you.
We will never forget you.
