Thomas Raymond Hayes

I lived 2 doors east of Tom and Mary. I will never forget them and their little Dog. I can't read about Tom, without tearing up. I knew them for only a short time, but, the Memories will last forever

I am so sorry,I didn't know that Tom had passed away.I just lost my husband on 2/13/11,we were doing chemos and treatments at the time Tom died and we didn't know.I'm so sorry for your loss.Tom and I were GHHS friends on Ashland Ave.Tom was a good friend of my brother Jimmy Titus.My husband Bob knew Tom from O'Brien's on 3rd.Ave.and thought Tom was amazing,always so happy.I work at Kroger and would just love it when I'd hear "Maggie",because Tom always called me that...I'd turn arround and...

To Tom's family & closest friends,
Tom was a wonderful, caring person and a great friend and mentor to my wife Mary to continue her artwork. He was a great inspiration to everyone who came in contact with him. Thank you Tom for being a part of so many peoples lives.
With greatest respect, Marland Johnston - Retired CPD

Tom,
You have been one of the great inspirations in my life, cruelly struck down early in your police career, only to raise yourself up and go on to make huge contributions to all of us at Columbus PD and to the citizens of Columbus. You have been a hero to me and so many others for so many years, and it so hard to accept that you are gone. We will miss you.

We were able to meet Tom and Mary through Nick. It has been a blessing to get to know such a wonderful man who was truely devoted to his family. May God be with you Mary and may you feel his comforting hand.

I met you while working for Grandview Heights Fire Department. I have always been impressed with your positive attitude and strength, and desire to keep going. You will always be remembered and revered.

I only knew Tom in the last part of his life while a patient at Select Specialty Hospital but was honored to care for him and will always remember his smile. My prayers are for your family tonight. Rest well Tom.
