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.

Tributes have begun pouring in on social media for the father-of-three, who was remembered as a ‘beautiful’ person.

17 March 2021 @ 12.52pm: Look what arrived yesterday after a very anticipated wait. I looked in the cover of the first edition and in stated published 1987 when I was 16 now about to turn 50 long wait but so worth it what a great book Osu! Great to see Shihan Cameron Quinn took the time to sign the book as well. Awesome.

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.

His colleagues will best remember him for his dedication and commitment to Operation Support Group (OSG) operations, firstly as a valued member of South West Metropolitan Region Enforcement Squad (OSG) and more recently with Operation ODIN (Central Metropolitan Region).
Theo was a well-respected member of the NSW Police Force who took immense pride in his job. He performed his duties with the highest of professionalism and will be remembered for the fun and antics, for which he was renowned.
Above his Policing, he was first a loving son to Sam, Mary and Barry, brother to Sarah and Ed and uncle to his many nieces and nephews.
Theo leaves behind his fiancée Rebekah, who is a current serving member of the NSW Police Force, and beautiful 3-year-old twin daughters Brooke and Sophie, who adore their dad. Theo was a wonderful father who cherished his girls and would constantly talk about them.
All donations to this cause will go to the ongoing support and care of Brooke and Sophie throughout their lives.

Policeman dies in suicide at NSW Police headquarters in Sydney
A police officer has taken his own life at the central Sydney offices of NSW Police.
The apparent suicide occurred in an office at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills on Monday morning.
Initial inquiries indicate the man’s death was not suspicious, a spokesperson for NSW Police said, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
A spokesperson for the Police Association of NSW said the union was aware of the death and would be providing support to those affected.
The death follows a number of suicides among police officers recently, including a senior constable in the New England region.
Police suicides in previous years have prompted discussion about the high-pressure nature of the job and whether officers are adequately supported.
A coronial inquest into the 2013 suicide of a former officer, Ashley Bryant, highlighted the psychological effects of police work, including the stress of constantly being alert to danger and coming into contact with victims of crime.
The inquest found NSW Police was working to help its members deal with the “extreme stressors” they face although more needed to be done.
