We where so sad to hear of the passing of your husband , we send prayers and love to you .
Was shocked at the sudden passing of Tom. We worked together in Southside while on the Police Department. Great guy and a passionate fan of baseball, motorcycles and life in general. I remember him playing trumpet at services while attending Church of the Epiphany. Truly a wonderful man and human being. God speed !!
