I became friends with some of Tom's friends my frshmn. yr., him being 2 years older than me became more of a big brother. When I would get to school he would give me a big bear hug and see me to class. He was kind of my guardian angel. RIP! Will be missed

R.I.P brother! You were a joy to be around, extremely animated and comical. You will live forever in the hearts and minds of your CTC-III-08 classmates. The smile was priceless! My condolences to you and yours, as we all witness God reclaiming one of his fallen angels.

Thank you for your service and my thoughts and preayers are with your family, friends and co-workers during this troubling time.

It is with great sorrow that we offer our sincerest condolences on the loss of Officer Adams. As police cadets, we have been taught a great many things but one cannot teach how to cope with the loss of a brother in this new family we have been welcomed into. What we have learned is that this calling is not for the weak, the timid, or the feint of heart/character. Armed with that knowledge we may not have known the individual but we do know the type of man and can be eternally grateful for the ultimate sacrifice given in the protection of others. Our Thoughts and prayers are with you,

The 48th Police Academy, Norman, OK on behalf of themselves and the service they are about to join
