Gone But Not Forgotten:

I received news that I did not want to hear last night. One of our EMT's, (one of my former students) passed away yesterday afternoon after battling a long illness. EMS has lost one of it's greatest providers. Tom's compassion and understanding of ill and injured people was amazing. Please keep his family (he has two small boys) and his EMS Friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks,
Jo

Here's the obituary: Tom was proud of many things in life, but he was MOST proud of those boys... Tom and his wife had been told numerous times that they would never be able to have children, and then a miracle x2 happened in their lives. I know that his last thoughts were probably of those boys.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

That's sad news. Sorry to hear of his loss, but it seems as though he had an active (but far too short) life.

What a shame... I'm sorry for your loss, and the loss in your community.
