Tom was a great guy and a great police officer. He was also a training officer whose levels of profeciency were to be aspired to in every respect. Guys like Tom built this PD. He will be missed by those who knew him.
RIP, sir. Thank you for your service.
RIP, On behalf of a DeKalb County resident thanks for your service and I pray for the comfort of your family.
Tom is my daddy! This post makes me so happy! Thank you for recognizing what a great man he was! He will be missed forever! Thank you for this!!!
Tom was a fantastic FTO, and you could rely on him 100% in all things. He was not a social butterfuly, but a man full of integrity and purpose.
May God bless his family.

Tom was a great FTO and was 100% reliable in all things. He was not a 'social butterfly' but a man full of integrity and purpose. May God bless his family, and we'll see you on the other side, Tom!

You are welcome Lacey !
Lacey: Good to see you're well. Tom was not only a fantastic officer and friend to us, but he was a loving and caring Dad. He spoke often of his children. It's was obvious to us in his inner-circle he loved and cared deeply for his family.
Tom was an old school hard core Cop. Folks like him made Dekalb County PD one of the finest in the country back in the day. Sadly, many there now will never know the man who served not only the county, but his country as well.
Thank you Lacey and your family for sharing your great father with us. He will truly be missed and I pray for you and your family to find comfort. Know that he may now rest with the Lord.
