Edward R. Simpson, DSFC #4340 "Silver Fox" passed away on February 24, 2024, of Deptford, NJ. Age 67. Beloved husband of Gigi Simpson (nee Rickenbach). Devoted father of Nicole Pensiero (Connor).

He is predeceased by his parents, Edward and Marian Simpson.
Fox started his career in law enforcement working 8 years at the Burlington Township Police Department before serving his 25 year career as a New Jersey State Trooper. After retirement, he worked as a security guard for the Phillies until working as an Administrative Officer for Corporate Services with the Norcross family and Connor, Stong & Buckelew. He enjoyed being a member of the Oneida Boat Club and Roma Club. He loved spending time in N.

He was an avid Eagles and Phillies fan and longtime season ticket holder.

My name is Gary Sandes (NJSP Ret. Lt. #4830). I first worked with Eddie aka Silver Fox aka Cuz on the Turnpike and later in our careers in the office of professional standards (OPS). What I remember the most is Ed´s ability to relate to anyone no matter what their station in life. He was gifted with the ability to effectively talk to people (even those he arrested) and gain their respect. In OPS he approached cases with an open mind and always used his own experiences to reach a fair outcome. Eddie was a great Trooper and will be sadly missed.
