A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Hernando County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Tommy was a tireless warrior for victims of sexual abuse. He was the most knowledgeable person in our unit in reference to sex offenses. He we will be missed for years to come. His laugh and WWF impressions!

As both a prosecutor and defense attorney for the Fifth Circuit, Florida I had the honor of working with Tommy who was a true law enforcement professional.
I mourn his death as a friend and pray for his immediate family and his working family at the Hernando County Sheriff's Office.
Tommy was a good man and he will be missed by all who knew him.
Rest in peace my friend.

Tom, I’m really going to miss you! You’ve been a great partner. You always seemed to have the right answer. You always had a hello in the morning and a goodbye at the end of the shift. It’s hard to believe your gone. I wish I could hear your impression of Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage just one more time. Don’t worry we will carry on for you. You will never be forgotten!!!

I worked with Tommy as a new Deputy starting in 1993. We spent a lot of time together and became good friends. He could always make me laugh. Before crimes against children was a big topic Tommy became dedicated to it in the 1990s. He continued to dedicate his career to protecting children for decades. My friend….you made a difference in this world. Although I had not seen you in many years i will still miss knowing you are out there. But I will see you when It is my turn to come home and we can laugh together again.
