So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We were classmates at UT and then both ended up teaching at UT and Owens. It's great to see the positive influence he had on so many, but it's no surprise. He was a great guy.

Tom persisted in his explanations until
he found the right "channel of entry".
He had a serious facade when telling a
funny story, which made it funnier.
He was very helpful to me and other
tutors when we were in need.

I'll certainly miss Tom.

Mr. Tom was a nice and helpful professor. I remember something that he said in one of my classes and it is something to remember forever. He said "My mother is the sweetest women in the world"

Besides being both a friend and mentor to me, Tom embodied all the traits of a great teacher. His dedication towrads, and concern for, his students set a standard to which I hoped I always met.

His absence at Owens CC will be strongly felt by all who were lucky enough to know him.

God bless Tom and his family.

Good bye my friend
