Heartfelt condolences to the Thome family! Jimmy was incredibly kind as I started my career in 009 in the early 90s. His kind, smiling eyes were a comfort, and his work inspiring. He made a difference, for which I will be eternally grateful. Rest Peacefully, Jim  💙

A.W.T.F. Jim, Jimmy Al, Al?, 

Will miss yeah forever and a day brother. Thank you for ALL you’ve have done for me these past 28+ years. Don’t have enough space here. 
Love you! 961 Tact

Jim,
 God has placed your final call to serve Him in a better place. 
Thanks for the friendship and memories while serving in 001.
Rest in Peace sir.

I remember the first time I met my father- in-law. He said “Jimmy, I hope you didn’t bring your girlfriend home for dinner, because we don’t have enough.”  😊 He quickly put me at ease with his infectious smile and humorous personality, which I will miss the most. He had a big heart, and would do anything for you. I was fortunate to know him, and become a part of his family. I truly believe he is reunited with the love of his life, and as he would say “love yuz”! ❤️

I believe you never really say goodbye to your true friends, so I’ll simply say till we meet again, a lot of years, a lot of laughs ,and a lot of good work (Big Bob). By the way if God asks you to pronounce Brougham , it’s Brougham not BroHam. ( It’s a 961 Team Thing)
Rest In Peace my friend 

Anyone that knows me knows I’m a talker. Been that way since childhood.
Right now thou,  I’m silent.
I sit here and laugh to myself thinking about the words you said to me when you came to the hospital I worked at.
You.....  “ you must have the greatest job in the world”!
I replied... why’s that?
You said... “because you’re never there!!!

I snuck away many times to “peek” in on you, and although no one wants to be in the hospital, no one can EVER take those moments we had together away!

Sleep peaceful now big bro
I LOVE you!
Until we meet again

I worked with Al in the 9th District. One of the most friendly and knowledgeable guys I had the pleasure to work with. I can see that mega smile lighting up the heavens. Rest In Peace Al

I am going to miss you big brother!!! Our laughs and our talks. Your pain and sorrow is gone now and I see that big smile on your face as some very important loved ones greet you to heaven.  RIP my big brother I will see you in my dreams.


Al was such a great guy. I enjoyed sitting in the jury room as he would crack up the table. Whenever I would see him in the neighborhood, he was always treated people like they were his best friends. The world is a lesser place with him not in it. 

Jimmy was my cousin, when we were kids our Great Aunt Mayme would take Jim, my brother and I downtown to see first run movies, we always had a great time.  Jim would always have us laughing.  Good bless you Jim. 

Al and I were classmates at the 720 W. O’Brien police academy.  We worked together for a long time in the 009th district. He was a good friend. He was an outstanding police officer. In particular, he was a role model and mentor for the younger officers.  He was always gracious and generous sharing his vast knowledge of police work. A great police officer and a terrific guy. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to the family. 

I'm Tony Flowers, part of 961 Eddie along with Joe Keeter. Jimmy was part of 961 Adam. Even tho this is a very sad thing to deal with, anyone who truly knew "Jimmy Al" knows he was HILARIOUS & wouldn't want the sadness. When his partner wasn't working with him, he was with myself & Joe. We were a "tree" (3) 😁 man car. Any hijinx the team got into, Jimmy was the nucleus or always part of it. He was ALWAYS politically correct as we all know (wink wink). If he rode with Joe & I in the winter he'd get back to the office & teased how "The Brothers" had the heat on so high in the car,  it felt like the oven door was open in the back seat!!!!😄 We both know Jimmy loved both of us. Jimmy taught us how to properly police & do our job. I ended up being a decorated Detective & Joe a Sgt. I owe it to Jimmy & all the veterans on our 961 team who took us under their wings & gave us experience & knowledge. He was an EXCELLENT hero. I'm gonna miss his greetings with that big smile while saying "ANTWAUN" & that big hug. May he rest in peace. I love you "Jimmy Al".  🙏

So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing.  Condolences from my family.  Jerry and he were so very close.  I will forever be thankful for all Jimmy did at Jerry's wake.  I am sure they are together watching over us.


I am so sorry for your loss.  I’m sure his old partner greeted him!  So many memories of your Dad and mine.  Both gone too soon!
