NORTH HAMPTON, N.H. - As lawmen throughout the Seacoast continue to grieve the loss of North Hampton Police Officer and Rochester native Peter Cormier, a walk-through in tribute by officers has been set for Thursday and a Go Fund Me page has been launched to help his family.

Cormier, who graduated from Spaulding High School, was an 18-year veteran of the North Hampton force, where he also served as a firearms instructor, detective and field training officer.

He also served as the Sniper Team Leader for the Seacoast Emergency Response Team.
His brother, James, is an officer with the Greenland Police Department.

Cormier, 46, died at Portsmouth Regional Hospital on Saturday after suffering an apparent heart attack at home.

He was an Army veteran and also served with the 157th Security Police Squadron of the New Hampshire Air National Guard for 22 years.

Cormier leaves behind a wife, Shelby, and 17-month-old twins Brooklyn and Logan. They were born prematurely at 31 weeks and still have ongoing medical issues that require frequent medical care.

Because he died off duty, his family is not eligible for standard police benefits, leaving their future uncertain, according to a Go Fund Me page set up to help the family.

More than $22,000 has already been raised toward its $100,000 goal.
