I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Tom. Please accept mine & Pats heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
Tom was a remarkable person who touched the lives of so many with his kindness, warmth, and unwavering dedication to the Chicago Fire Department. His presence was a source of inspiration, and he will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him and being his friend. He was a fabulos fireman.
