I worked with Tom of 2302 EPW when his partner was off. Better police officer could ever be found. He tag hit a young rookie (me) how to be safe and how to protect my fellow officers. I never Tom was recognized for his aggressive patrol procedure and Part 1 arrests. I'm sorry to just now that he has passed on. God bless a great cop.

Although I only met him a couple of times, Tom (Pop-Pop) was a very brave man who fought his way through life. His legend will live on.

Tom,some of the old gang got together yesterday. Of course, you were the topic of conversation. We talked about all the crazy things we did as kids, and a lot of the crazy things we still did as adults. You will be missed.
