Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

I had the honor to work with and know Tom. He was a consummate professional who treated everyone with respect and compassion. He was humble and fair. He loved his family and spoke of them often. Tom served his Country as well as the citizens of Los Angeles County with honor. He passed away doing the job he loved. Rest Easy Tom. The lives you touched are forever grateful.
