So long Officer Tom Dawson

A lot of us will miss the old boy. He was a regular on Candlewick Drive in the area of the dam and the south gate. I was told a couple months ago maintenance found a dead turkey. I thought it probably was him but didn't want to post it then find it wasn't. I have not heard of a sighting since so it was probably Officer Tom. They said it looked like dogs or coyotes had attacked him. You will remember he was hit by a car before that and disappeared for a while, only to reappear on the road being much more wary of cars. I wonder if his injury made him less able to get away from predators by flying into a tree. One of his wings seemed to be damaged by the car so that is a possibility. 
Rest in peace, Officer Tom. You brought many smiles to us during your time here.
