Tommy was a great cop, a good person and a friend.
When I was in FTO, he actually took the time to train me and give good advice, not try and humiliate me.
Always smiling, laughing and telling jokes.
A good man, the world is poorer now I will miss him
Gone way too soon…our academy days were like yesterday…time flies and you have left a legacy for your family and a high standard for your boys…as one of the best RPD Detectives ever…rest easy buddy
To the Klein family – Tom was the best! A man of great honor and dedication. May God continue to bless him, your family and our great nation.
Best,

I met Tom and Corinne at the old Monroe Development Center. Both were beautiful people. Tom had a great sense of humor.
He was a good street cop and even a better investor.
so sad, Tommy was a great investigator and a good friend.
My condolences to family and friends. Good guy gone too soon. RIP Tom
A great loss. My heartfelt condolences to the family. Some of my best memories from the RPD Tom was always willing to provide advice or help out; always with a smile and a positive outlook.
So sorry to Corrine, Matt , Andy and the rest of your family for your loss. Tom was one of the nicest person I have met. Such a sharp wit, great sense of humor and humble guy. Tom’s ability to connect with people of all walks of life served him well at his job. He was a great communicator and had such an easy way with people. These abilities allowed him to be a Great Investigator, well liked by many in the RPD and was the Go-To guy for many young Officers.
Gone way to soon. RIP Sir
With prayers of sympathy and consolation to Tom’s family…
Good bye old friend. I will miss you every day
I want to express my sincere condolences to the Kelin Family for your loss. Tom was a very unique person to work with. Tom was proud to be cop, and was a great Cop, friend, and one of the organizers of the Luther Allen Golf Tournament. Oh, I still have a workable Luther Allen Tournament Golf Umbrella. I will give this to the sons of Tom. They deserve it. I would know for sure; Tom was watching the backs of fellow brother Officers who were working on 3rd platoon. I want to say that Tom and I had an understanding, and we both laughed our a..es off. (Excuse me). I know Tom was so proud of his son’s joining the RPD. I know for sure Tom talked to both of his son’s and told them the truth….” Watch the back of all your Brother/Sister Offcers”
God Bless the Klein Family, Tom was a good Police Officer and good friend. Tom will be missed,
My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
Don’t believe I ever saw Tom without a smile on his face. Thank you Tom for sharing all of your talents with so many who came on after you. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace brother. You will be missed. God bless his family through these difficult times. 🙏❤️
Tom was a true pleasure to work with and always had a smile on his face. He was a great mentor and will be deeply missed.
