Tommy and Jeff were friends for over 50 yrs-in a blue uniform, at the Nascar races, pig pickings, drivers training at WSPD, and just about every thing else.Glad he is a peace and no longer suffering RIP and now you can be happy
Tommy was the example for the saying ” A Cops Cop ” Always willing to respond and jump in where needed. I worked with him on the same squad for many years and we had a thing where we would try to beat each other to certain calls. Rest in peace my brother in blue and prayers for his family and friends.
I worked with Tommy on the same squad for a couple years.
We became good friends and remained that way for the remainder of his life.
God speed my friend.
