JUST 24 hours before he died, Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson had been doing what he always did - helping the community.
He had organised the local leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics, and proudly participated in it.
Last night the crowd at Newcastle Basketball Stadium for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics Junior National Games stood in silence for a minute to mark the death of the man who had done so much to support their cause.
Described as "an angelic man with a heart of gold", Insp Anderson was dedicated to his community and lived by the philosophy that he wanted to be a "policeman on the street".
The respected officer repeatedly knocked back promotions to head up commands because it wasn't what he was about.
Senior police last night said Insp Anderson didn't want to be chained to a desk. He loved the community he worked in, and was determined to stay there.
"He wanted to be a policeman on the street, to be in touch with his community," an officer said.
DONATE TO THE BRYSON ANDERSON MEMORIAL FUND
Yesterday his broken-hearted wife Donna bravely listened as Insp Anderson's brother Damian read a statement from the family, including their three children, aged 15, 13 and 10.
"Commensurate with our sense of loss is the pride we have in a man who has given his life in the service of the people of NSW," Damien Anderson said.
As the statement was read out Mrs Anderson clutched the hand of her husband's father, Rex Anderson, a retired police officer who spent much of his career based at Parramatta.
"Bryson will never be replaced; however, he has left a legacy that will endure," Damian said.
"His passing is not only a loss to his family and friends, but also a loss to the people of NSW."
