Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tom, both at Bensenville and DuPage County Sheriff's office. I enjoyed working with him. He was funny and knowledgeable and also a good police officer.
My prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest condolences to the family of Tom on their loss. I knew Tom when he was with the Bensenville PD. I always considered Tom to be a dedicated Police Officer/Investigator. He was a great guy to swap stories with. He loved to kid around in the way "cops" do.
