Our condolences to Jeannie and the family in this time of sadness. Tom was a good friend and will be missed.
I remember when he and my dad were partners on the FLPD. They shared a mutual respect and an appreciation of one anothers' sense of humor. We heard some great stories about the cases they worked together. I like to think that they are partnered up again now, watching over all of us who love them.
