To the Pomeroy family, Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Tom. I knew him through the job, as I was a police dispatcher for the town of Vestal. Tom was a source of encouragement to me personally, and constantly told me to never give up, to fight through the challenges of the day to day. His spiritualness was evident in his demeanor and he was someone to emulate. Tom was a credit to the uniform and there are many who owe him a debt of gratitude for his guidance in our careers. Thank you for sharing him with us. May God bless you all.
