Tom And Terry have been lifelong friends of the Morse family for decades. He was my friend, my first Chief of Police, a mentor, a teacher, my priest and my therapist. He helped me through my darkest moments and helped celebrated my most important achievements. My outmost respect, love and admiration for all he taught me. Love you to you both!
