Not sure what to say?

Walker was my Captain for many years but was first mg Lieutenant in the CIRT. We had fun training in the unit especially when it came to repelling his favorite thing to do
NOT!!!!

Tom was a good and true friend. A man among men. I worked with him as well as going on small adventures. He loved to laugh and enjoyed life. He was a great Policeman. God Bless you my old friend.

Tom was my Lt on the C.I.R.T., we had some very funny memorable experiences while on the team.

I thank God for putting Tom in my life as my best friend for forty-six years. I've said many times that we have somewhere between one hundred thousand and a million memories together. Tom and I were police officers together, we hunted and fished together, we partied together, we went through divorces together and he was my 'Best Man' at my wedding to Patsy. I have four photos of him in my living room that keep the memories fresh. There is not a day that I don't think about him and miss...

It's been five years and it seems like only yesterday. Patsy and I have three photos of him in our living room, all representing fond memories. I still think of him every single day. With the memory of his loss, the tears still won't stop flowing. I am so blessed to have him in my life as my 'best' friend. Patsy gave us the nicknames 'Big T' for him and 'Little t' for me. Those nicknames have stuck with us through the years. In memory of him, I sign all of my informal communications...

God speed LT. Your bark was always worse than your bite. Rest in Peace.

Pat Rider APD Retired

Tom was my boss in dispatch and a friend through out our time together at APD. I will never forget him.

Dona... Patsy's and my most heartfelt condolences. We share the grief and enormous sense of loss with the entire family. I can't stop the tears. I have a million memories and the stories to go with them. He was my co-worker, my fishing partner, my hunting partner, my pinochle partner and the 'Best Man' at Patsy's and my wedding. I can sum up our relationship in five simple words. 'He was my BEST friend'.

I'll see you again and we'll share another bottle of Crown Royal. Until...

I worked with Tom at APD and would stop and say hi while he was Chief in Seward. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. Condolences to the family. Prayers and hugs.
