I remember Tom in high school as a great talent and wonderful person, I live in Wyoming and I have always used Rogers and had no idea Tom worked there. He was an inspiration to me in theatre. So sad to hear of your loss.

Mary Ann and Ian - I actually let out a gasp when I read your email. We were totally shocked and saddened at how suddenly Tom passed. I will truly miss exchanging emails with him - they very often put a smile on my face or made me laugh out loud. Dan and I will be in New York City next weekend and we will think of Tom. Every time I ride the NYC subway I think of all the times Tom and I rode them - esp. in the front car. Rest in peace my dear friend!

Tom's death has totally floored me. On my last trip back to Middletown I saw him for the first time in 30 years, and I was looking forward to seeing him on my next visit. He was a dear friend, a talented actor, and a good man. I am so sorry to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mary Ann- I just saw the paper. I am so soory for your loss. I haven't talked to Tom in a long time, but we have been friends for over 30 years. I wish I could be at the services, but my grandaughter' leg was run over by a car and I am pretty much living at Miami Valley Hospital. You have my deepest sympathy. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am so sorry for you loss of Tom. We only recently reconnected so many years after high school and I am sorry we didn't get to make new memories and renew our friendship. Tom will be missed by all who knew him especially the Middletown High School Class of 1972.
