Not sure what to say?





My deepest sympathy in the loss of your brother. I was in the National Guard with him, Roy, and Herbert in the 50's and 60's. He was a super nice guy.

So sorry to hear about Tommy's death. When I began working at The Chronicle in 1955, Tommy worked in the composing room under Ed Stokely. He was such a good man, just a joy to work with and be around. I left the newspaper in 1960 and I think Tommy left shortly afterward to work for the Atlanta newspapers. I returned to The Chronicle in 1964. Bill Baab, Outdoor Editor (retired), but still Fishing Editor, The Augusta Chronicle.

So sorry to hear that Tom had passed away. I worked with him
at the AJC for several years. I was
the pressroom manager, and got to
know Tom well. I last saw him at the 25 year club diner a few years back. He was a great friend and fellow worker. I know he will be greatly missed.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
A good friend and co-worker
