I did not know Tommy, but i do now. He will be known to millions by newly formed The Officer Thomas McMeekin Division, Atlantic County #1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.....a 500 year old society of Irish Roman Catholic men brought to America in 1836 to defend immigrants and the Church from deadly attacks.....just as police officers do even today. The Ofc. Thomas Mcmeekin Division meets at St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church and includes many of his family members and friends.
