Uncle Thomas,

I never got the chance to meet you, hear your voice, have a conversation with you, laugh with you or even hug you but your presence is always felt. I always enjoying hearing the stories from my mom and your other siblings. It saddens me when I see and hear other families speak on how they have lost someone in the line of duty because I can only imagine what was felt by our family on that dreadful day. Continue to Rest In Peace.

I miss Uncle Thomas as much today as when my family got the message back in 1974. But I thank God for the short time I had with him and the hopeful future.

It was my honor to research newspapers, books and magazines and find a Photo of you in the PBA Magazine and make sure your photo was put on this site. I wanted to put a face to your heroism in the Line of Duty. I did the research because you are a brother officer and no matter how many years past, you will always be remembered. Rest Easy Hero.
