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!

From: Steve and Joyce Mitchell
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.

From: Sam Charlebois
Relation: Tom and I met when we were in training for the RCMP Dog Training Section in Innisfail, AB We metnd Montreal in the mid-seventies. We had a good friendship but due to transfers and family commitments; we lost touch over the years.

Dear Hala and family:

It is with deep sadness that we hear about Tom’s passing.

We are sending our deepest condolences for you, Hala and the family in your loss. May his memories bring you all lots of comfort.
