Tom and I worked together when I was supervisor of the Reserve unit. He even sold me the best wood-stove for my retirement home in NM
Tom was a true gentleman, always polite, and kind in his demeanor. We are the poorer for our loss!

I will miss Tom (my cousin). Very nice man. We had some things in common, motor cycles, we each retired from Law Enforcement and I had a good time with Tom & Kay at the motorcycle ralley in Sturgis South Dakota. Tom and I were in the US Army and he had a lot of questions from my time in Viet Nam.
Tom, I miss you and may you RIP.

Tom and I not only shared a birthday. We shared many years riding together while I was in S.T.E.P. Always a true professional and an even better family man. Words can never express the sorrow in my heart. You will be missed my friend.

My heart goes out to Kay Paula Lee and his entire family. We are family and I will dearly miss him .
