I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Deputy Sheriff Thomas E. Baker, III.

End of Watch Friday, June 3, 2022.



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Tom, Tom, Tom..... this is truly a time I never ever wanted to see. If only I could just one more time tell you to turn your head because your ears were messing up the radio reception and to just see that ear to ear grin you'd give me before telling me they only helped with the reception. From High School to the Sheriff's Dept to the BOP, we spent many, many days/ nights together. As I moved away, we grew further apart but always checked on one another from time to time. Give Giacomo a big hug from me and know that neither one of you will ever be forgotten. Godspeed good buddy....I'll see ya when I get there.
