Tommy was on the other shift when I started at Station 6. We all traded days and I got the privilege of tramping a lot of the same ashes as he, and many others, helped me learn my craft as a firefighter. Later, we came together on the same shift as he became my Battalion Chief. We also shared an interest in amateur radio and served together in that field, as well. He was a gentleman, a good and courageous firefighter and a good officer. I will miss his smile and council. No words can change what his family feels so I offer only my respect and condolence. The world has lost an honorable man and is poorer for it but he has left an example we can strive to follow.
