Not sure what to say?

Another year has passed. . ten years since Tom left us. He was a great friend. We used to talk daily and he even lived with my wife and I down in Costa Rica for about six months, where he made so many friends. He always had good stories to tell and he never repeated a story like all of us do when we reach 70 and over! We miss Tom a lot. He spent a Thanksgiving with us about 13 years ago. We went out to eat and the restaurant ran out of turkey! He could NOT believe it and caused an uproar...

Wow, another year. . every year at this time, I remember my great friend, Tom. I first met him while working with a gourmet bread company in Delray Beach, Florida. His kindness stood out among all the others. We had a great time! A few years later, he actually moved to Costa Rica and lived with my wife's family in San Jose. He had so much fun and met so many people. He practiced his Spanish and loved to take walks all around the neighborhood. He could have been elected MAYOR of that little...

Another year has passed. . and they pass so quickly it seems. Every year at this time, I especially think of Tom. We were good friends who spoke every day on the phone. Our discussions were anywhere from politics to old police stories! He lived with me and my family in Costa Rica for about six months. I think I could write a book on how he touched so many people there. A new country with no Spanish influence behind him, he still managed to make dozens of friends. By the time he...

I cannot believe it has been six years since I lost my best friend, Tom. We talked everyday about his life and he had so many wonderful stories. I miss our conversations about life, politics, society in general, etc. Rest in peace, Tom. You're surely missed. .

Tom was a great friend. I first met him when he worked at a gourmet bread company in Delray Beach. He was so nice and had so many stories to tell about his life! I knew him for over 8 years. We talked on the phone daily right up until the last day of his life. He spent about 8 months with me and my family at my home in San Jose, Costa Rica. Everybody loved him down there! Even though he didn't speak Spanish, every time he walked into a corner store, everyone knew him and said, "HOLA"! ...

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. The members of our CopNET family would like to thank Thomas
rambo for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Tommy will be broadcast to our 3,531 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family. His absence from our ranks will be deeply missed by the remaining members of Philadelphia's Finest who were fortunate to have served with him...

Tom was a wonderful and kind man.He was most helpful in building my life as a Police Officer.I've thought of him often over these years.Please know all of you are in my prayers..Till we meet again my friend.

I remember Tom as a kind and gentle man. I worked with him when I was in JAD and he was in SDD. When he became Captain, he took me as his Aide. I left the PPD in 1988 and we lost touch. But I often thought of him over the years. Our condolences to his son and daughter. We lost a good man in Tom!
