Tom was a great friend. I am proud to have worked with him while he was with the attorney general's office. Tom is the kind of guy you know you are better because you knew him. I will miss him.

Tom had a big heart! He was the first FBI employee to visit the hospital when our daughter was born. He had a real nose for investigations. We miss Tom and I know his family does too!

Tom was one of the most kind and thoughtful men we've ever had the privilege to know. He was there for us and our family during a very difficult time and his friendship, support and guidance meant so much to us. We will miss him and his friendship but will look forward to seeing him again one day in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and his family.
