Relation: FRIEND/CO-WORKER
It is with great sorrow that we have learned of Tom’s passing.
Many years ago I had the pleasure of working with Tom and his trusty sidekick “Ajax” in Nfld. At that time they were an important part of a more expansive specialized unit. I might add they one of the best, if not the best, teams that I had encountered over the years. Tom was certainly a credit to the policing profession and a true gentleman. He will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Relation: Friend from Las Colinas
My husband and I first met Tom and Hala at Las Colinas RV Park in Arizona 3 years ago. Tom had been building one of his planes when we moved in next door. During the past few winters we enjoyed time spent with him and listening to stories. He will he greatly missed in our park. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hala and the family.
