I've just learned of Tom Branning's passing. Tom and I both graduated from Princeton High School in 1962. He was well thought of during our high school years. At reunions, he seemed not to have changed either in personality or character, just aged a little like we all have. This news was totally unexpected. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Anne
Just learned from Kathy Cartwright that Tom passed away. I was a highschool classmate of Tom's - Princeton HS class of '62. He was a great guy. My wife and I send you our sincere sympathies.

Dear Anne, Meredith, and Elizabeth. We are so sorry for your loss. So many happy memories are with us still of Tom's active part in after-school sports at Willard. What a devoted father. He always had a ready smile. May you all be filled with innumerable happy memories of Tom's life.
