Words do not exist to describe the impact of it all.

If you'd known Tom, you would have liked him. Not because he's dead, but because Tom was truly a great guy. Gung Ho, positive attitude, great ethics, dependable as can be if you needed help. He loved being a cop, and loved the job.

Tom's life was dedicated to serving people. As an altar boy, police explorer scout, United States Marine, reserve deputy, and as a police officer.

John Q. Public, this man gave his life, for you. Not as a hero, but as one human risking it all, again and again, to protect you. His death did not make him a hero. His entire life did.

Semper Fidelis...
