I have the privilege to often share (some) of the fun times we had and the loyalty you showed me countless times. No one truly understands just how important you were to me; just as you were to so many others. You were a brother to me in more ways than a brother in blue. Love you and miss you Tommy.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Tommy,
I can't believe how long it has been.
I think about you often and spread the word of how you had the soul of an old timer in the uniform of one of those new age cops.
I miss your goofy smile and the fun times I shared with you.
I I keep good thoughts for your daughter and your loved ones always.

Of all my friends i have had in my life Tommy was the most kindest of them all. The things we did ( and got away with) in high school i will always remember and cherish. Mr. Patton you raised one hell of a man and i learned a lot from him. Made me who i am today. You will never be forgotten Tommy. You touched many lives and did more for people with the short time you had , that 10 men in a lifetime could not have accomplished. I miss you man.

Tom. I miss you so much!!! I miss you treating me like your daughter, I miss your smile, I miss you kind aurora, I miss everything. I remember the day I knew you were dead I remember you were planning on coming over to visit when I turned 11.I remember whenever you caught my dad speeding to get home you guys would have the worlds longest conversation, and you would just let him go. So guess what I have a new baby sister now, she would of loved you... Maybe even as much as I loved you. You were my second father and now your gone. I miss you.
