Condolences to the Family

Still loving you almost 5 years later, Tom.  You are forever in my heart and soul… Love always, Alicia

I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of Tom.  I partnered with him many times while with LEMSA.  He was caregiving lifesaver and a good friend. He will truly be missed.
Best Wishes,
Pete Perrine

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. I worked with Tom and Lancaster EMS. I didn’t know him very well, but my mom, Lee Ann, and him were friends.

I was sad to hear about Tom’s death.  We had worked together at Lancaster EMS for a number of years and kidded around with each other a lot.  Tom will truly be missed.  I would like to give my condolences and prayers to Tom’s parents for their loss.  Nothing could be harder than the loss of a child.  God Bless…
