Raymond Police identified the victim of a fatal accident that occurred at a Walmart distribution facility on Sept. 16.
At around 10 a.m., 54-year-old James Tomilson was inspecting a warehouse tractor-trailer when another truck “lunged forward” pinning him between the two, killing him.
“I can tell you that James was one of the most thoughtful, honest, and caring individuals a person could know,” Police Chief Michael Labell said.
Tomilson had been working for the Raymond Walmart warehouse since 2012. He was a former Deerfield and Raymond officer from 1999 until he joined the company.
“He lived a life of serving others through his acts of volunteerism and responsibilities as a former law enforcement officer and soldier in the Army National Guard,” Labell added.
“He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
