Officer Tom was my school officer in highschool. he was a very goodhearted man. and a great person. RIP.
OT was the SH** he was cool with all of us I would run around the school and ask to shoot his gun, we would joke around alot I remember 1 day in the winter I threw a snow ball at his cop car and he got looked at me and laughed and told me I was the only one who did that and that I was lucky we were really cool as we both laughed.
