I never had the privilege of meeting Officer Lindsey, but as a former Marine & current police officer myself, I feel I can speak for his character. Tom earned not one but two very coveted titles in his lifetime....US Marine and Police Officer. Tom was and always will be a member of two very special fraternities...the United States Marine Corps and Law Enforcement (Utica Chapter). My thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family & co-workers. When I graduated from boot camp one of my drill instructors told us "there will be wars, and in war Marines will die, but as a Marine you will live forever in the name of the Corps". Tom may be gone from our world, but every time you hear the Marine Corps hymn or see a Utica Police car cruise by on patrol....HE'S THERE.

We remember the officers who changed our lives,
The men and woman who protected us day and night,
People who respect for their dedication to the cause,
For when faced with danger, they never even pause.

We remember the officers who always stood true,
Whatever the color of uniform, brown gray or blue,
With pride and integrity they say "To serve and protect",
For the giving of their life, we offer our respect.

We remember the officers who we never really knew,
Persons strong enough to answer the challenge are few,
With heavy hearts we mourn the officers in eternal rest,
There's more to these people than the badge on their chest.
(By Brad Miller)

Rest In Peace

Fallen Hero
In memory of Officer Thomas M. Lindsey 10/01/74 - 4/12/07

Why is it so, that the good always die young?
In the heart of Cornhill, we lost another one.
Officer Thomas Lindsey, paid the ultimate price,
On that cold and rainy night, he sacraficed his life.
He made a traffic stop, a car which seemed suspicious,
Someone commited a senseless act, which was malicious.
A shot rang out with intent to kill,
Officer down! as he lie still.
Cut short was his life of honor and pride,
To serve and to protect, were the words he lived by.
He wore his badge proudly for all to see,
He was a 5 year veteran of the U.P.D.

May your family, friends and fellow officers remember the good times. May they find solace knowing that you paid the ultimate price doing a job you loved. An old Irish saying goes, "May your soul be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you are dead". I am sure you made that possible by the good deeds and heroism of your life. Rest in peace, brother.

To the Lindsey family and friends
From the family of Det. Keith Dressel, Toledo Police, Vice EOW 02/21/2007
It's been almost 2 months since we lost our Keith in the line of duty. The shock, the outpouring of support, love and emotion is overwhelming. For us, it was amazing to see how people we didn't know in places across the country and the world are thinking of you and empathizing with you during this time of incredible loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this tragedy.

To the family and friends of Officer Thomas Lindsey, may the love of God and others comfort you at this time of loss. Know that your son, brother and friend is safe in the arms of the Lord. I am grateful for his service to our country and community, and saddened by the loss of such a fine person. His death was not in vain. In a little more than thirty years his positive influence in the lives of others has been made known and that will continue to bear fruit in the many lives he has touched, not only of those who knew him personally but others who have witnessed these events. Some people live many years yet never live like Officer Lindsey did. It is a reminder to us all that life is short. We need to make the most of every moment and make a difference in the little things, like having a smile for people, being patient with them and always finding a reason to be grateful, keeping an optimistic attitude no matter what as Officer Lindsey did.

Thank you for your unselfish service to others. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

I knew Tom beginning in junior High School and until graduation from Utica Senior Academy. He was a great guy and always had a smile on his face. I remember that in all of our classes we shared, he frequently chewed on his pens and made jokes. Tom was truly the type of guy that everyone would like to know. I began my career as a police Officer in 1996 , after moving to Arizona for college. I know what it is like to attend funerals of fellow officers and have done so too often. I pray that the Utica Police Department can remember Tom and honor his memory. I am sorry that I could not attend his funeral and I extend my condolences to all the members of the Utica Police Department and rememeber Tom, nomatter where you're friends are, you will never be forgotten. God Bless You.
