May his memory be a blessing. I never met Father Tom, but my friend and his Linda Becker spoke fondly of him.

FatherTom patrolled with me many times. On one occasion we stopped 3 armed robbers. Thankfully they were arrested with out the use of force. The main reason (?) They believed Father Tom was also a police officer. Never forgotten.
