Reflections for Patrolman Thomas Ray Carpenter

You will always be remembered as a true hero. How terrible that your family had to grow up without you. May you rest in peace and I thank you for your sacrifice!

I was a child when this happened. I have and will always remember this. I want you and your family to know that I still and will always include you in my prayers. May God bless you and all of your children, grand children, and great grand children.

Tom was born March 28, 1942. Had he lived, he would be 64 years old on his birthday. Many years have passed since he was killed but what treasures he left me - our children. We now have seven grandchildren and a great granddaughter. Two great grandsons will be born in May, His birthday still is remembered by his family and we always feel his influence and love.

Tom, I only knew you briefly but remember you well as a man rock solid in your faith. Your untimely passing served as a wake up call for me and probably kept me on my toes and relatively unscathed through the years. You were the first of my uniformed comrades to fall in the line of duty and you will never be forgotten.
