Reflections
Tom Gesiorski was a great policeman and a good man. I knew Tom's son, Rick from before the job, we carpooled to the Academy every day, and went to Englewood together. I met Tom at 007 and he was a quiet professional that had a lot of wisdom to share wih a new recruit. He treated the new guys with respect and was always willing to help anyone.
It was my honor to know Tom. God Bless!
I worked with Tom in the 7th Dist and he was a great guy and police officer,I'm glad he finally was added to the police memorial,HE IS A FALLEN HERO
I never knew my Grandfather, but I heard he was a great man and a great cop. Thanks for keeping the streets safe and thanks for leading me into the world of Law Enforcement. Your greatly missed.
