Please accept my sympathy on the passing of "Batman". When I first worked a regular assignment it was as back step man of Engine 6 at Station #1...Tom was the tillerman of ladder 2. The Babe was a great guy to know and work with!

Sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time. Many fond memories of our families growing up at the firehouse picnics and functions. I am sure that Tom and my Dad are already playing jokes on each other in heaven.

My Condolences, I never worked with Tom but I met him after his retirement while I was working with the Lang's and Richy Raus. I always heard good things around the firehouse when his name would come up. They always said " he was a good firefighter" a comment that meens alot around the fire house. Best wishes.
