Read MoreDear Tom Jr,
Sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I remember your Dad at the Kiwanis breakfast's making Pancakes. There were many times that I went with my Dad. Even though I have not seen you in years I'm glad to see that you got married. I'm still living in Westpark with my husband.
Best Wishes to you and your family. Louise Unterzuber

Our Sympathy and prayers for you today. I cannot begin to tell you the times Tom brought me into the station to discuss politics, history as well mentor me in being a great COP. Tom was avery intelligent man and he knew his history.He would always arrive at a call and if we were not wearing our hats he would tell you about it. One winter day Tom pulled up on the scene saw that my hat was in the zone car and he took the hat out and smashed it over the cars bubble. I really enjoyed working...
