It is with deep regret that we inform you of the death of Senior Constable Alan Kuzmich, Badge #111, of the South Simcoe Police Service on Wednesday, August 21, 2002 at approximately 10:45 p.m.

Constable Kuzmich was on duty and investigating an incident involving a stolen motorcycle on County Road 4 and Concession 10 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury when he was struck by a motor vehicle and killed instantly.

Constable Kuzmich was 41 years of age and served as a Police Constable for 19 years.

He is survived by his wife, Joanne and two children, Greg and Brad.

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who has helped us in our time of deep grief and unimaginable tragedy.

Your words, your prayers, your tears and your warmth of support has carried us through this difficult time.

Alan would have been extremely grateful, touched, and humbled by the out-pouring of care and concern for his sons - Greg and Bradley and for myself.

We would like to give thanks to our extended police family and emergency personnel but especially to the South Simcoe Police Service.

The people in this community, our schools, our neighbours, Barrie minor hockey, and our special friends - have provided us with great strength to endure the loss of our hero, our father and my very best friend.

The respect and honour that has been bestowed upon Alan will never be forgotten.

Joanne, Greg and Bradley Kuzmich and his loving family
