PEPPERELL, MA — A former Milford police officer has died.

Alan Lessieur, a lieutenant with the Pepperell, Massachusetts, Police Department, who started his career as a part-time officer in Milford in the 1980s, died on Monday. He was 60, according to Chief David Scott of the Pepperell Police Department. Lessieur suffered a medical emergency in Pepperell, he said.

"We are all deeply saddened by Alan's passing,” Scott said. “He possessed a unique combination of dedication, leadership, and compassion, and had a unique way of connecting with co-workers and strangers alike. We will miss his bellowing laughter during morning roll call, his endless supply of movie quotes, and his commitment and dedication to the community."
