At 91 years old, retired Pittsfield Police Officer Enrico Giardina carried a lifetime of service, sacrifice, and stories behind his badge. On the day of his grandson’s graduation from the Massachusetts State Police Academy, he wasn’t just a guest in the crowd — he was the heart of the ceremony.

With steady hands aged by decades of duty, Enrico had the profound honor of pinning the badge on his grandson, Adam Simeone. In that small yet powerful gesture, two generations of dedication to law enforcement became one. It wasn’t just a pin — it was a passing of values, a seal of love, and the continuation of a family legacy rooted in service and integrity.

For Adam, the moment marked more than the start of his career; it was a tribute to the grandfather who had walked the same path before him. For Enrico, it was a full-circle blessing — to see his life’s commitment live on in the next generation.

As the badge gleamed under the ceremony lights, so too did the bond between grandfather and grandson — a reminder that while time may age the body, it cannot dim the pride, love, and honor carried within a family’s heart.
