Not sure what to say?

It's been a long time since I've wrote or expressed my feelings for such a great man. It definitely goes without saying he was/is a inspiration to me and others. Just last week I felt down on my luck and I remembered when Tom came to me with some struggles he was having and we pushed to overcome them together. To this day I use that situation to get past obstacles in life R.I.P Mr Moritz

I met Tom at Fort Benning, GA in 1959 and we served together in Germany in 1960-61. I came home and was married in April 1961. My wife joined me in Gelnhausen, Germany and our first home was a basement apartment.
Our first ever dinner guest was Tom and my wife, Carol, served spaghetti. It seems like last week. Tom was a special friend and we will always miss him.

What wonderful tributes still coming in...we will never forget what an awesome man you were...always my hero. your loving sister.

Served with Tom in Vietnam 1966-67. Cool under fire and a leader of the highest order. Even in tense and stressful times, he was in control of his emotions and actions, a true "TC Aviator."
