Tom was a leader in establishing policy and procedures for the Chicago Police Department. As Deputy Superintendent he was charge of all Chicago detectives and investigations and as such he oversaw some of the city's most notable and historic criminal investigations. Ellie and I traveled with him and Liz around the world. He knew everything about everything. He was a great boss, mentor, and friend. A true loss.
