To all who loved and respected Tom - he was such a friend to all - like the old soldier/airman he was, he was always there for everyone he met, whether the private, the general, or the person in the next cubicle. We will all miss Tom's smile and helping hands. Tom - blessings are on you and yours and keep the pearly gates ajar for all us friends, relatives, coworkers and customers - we all benefited from knowing you!

To the Wilson Family and DOC Family - I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to sit next to Tom for a couple of years at the DOC (2002-2004) and I definitely know about that loud booming phone voice (as my vendors did too). I also know that Tom was a kind, good hearted man, passionate about his work and sports. Always willing to lend a helping hand, never without a story and wonderful sense of humor. Rest in Peace Tom.........you will be missed.

I first met Tom in August 2001, when I arrived at Fort Eustis to start my Contracting Internship. He was instrumental in training me and made sure that I always had everything that I needed. He was like a father to me, in fact, I always told him that I was the daughter he never had. Even though, I departed Ft. Eustis at the end of my internship in 2003, Tom and I still kept in touch over the years. In fact, when he found out he was ill, he made a point to contact me so that I would hear of his illness from him. I will miss you “dad.” Rest in peace--my friend. I am confident that I will see you again in Glory and you shall be made whole. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Wilson and Robert during this very difficult period of time.

May the Lord bless the Wilson Family during this time of loss. Tom Wilson was a great human being. Tom was my first trainer when I came into the Army Acquisition Corps, and he would crack me up when he would be on the phone talking loud enough for most people in the building to hear him. He will certainly be missed by a whole lot of people whose lives he has affected in so many ways.
