Deputy Sheriff Thomas L. Reuter

We never Knew Tom. We had only just moved to this area when such a dreadful thing happened. Our hearts burned for the man, his young wife
and such a beautiful family, now left alone in stunned grief.
There have since been such wonderful articles in the paper to help us know
the fine family man & friend of the community that we lost, WASTED senselessly! The poem above says it so well! These officers are out there trying to help & protect, and take their lives in their hands in the darkness so often. -So often thankless. I have great admiration for Tom's son, who chose to pick up where his Dad left off.
We think of Tom often, especially now when so many Officers are getting a
bad rap all across the nation from the media.
Thanks to the friends & co-workers who got the word out about the parole
hearing. Sending a letter is the very least we can do.
We SALUTE you Tom, the job you did well, & the strength of your fine family to go forward.
