We loved that guy. Knew Tom and Martha at the Naples Yacht Club for many years. It seemed to be where every thing was happening at that time before his death. It was a sad time to us when he died. Love to you Martha and Cullen and family.

Martha and Family, we're happy to be remembering Tom as he was this past August when we got together with you, Tom, and friends at your place. Great to remember those happy hours talking over memories and eating pizza. So many memories starting at the Coconut Grove house, to the Coral Gables house, then Naples, all fun and unforgetable.

Martha, I remember when you entered a party ( the Buntin's house, maybe? mid 70's?)with that life size teddy bear for Tom when you guys began dating!!It was great to see Tom again at the 1011 retirement party. I will always have fond memories of him. May God bless you and Cullen and give you peace. Love, Caron Hess

Remembering the "early" flying days, the Miami pilot group was so much fun. Tom was always great to fly with. I still think of you both when we go by the Keys house on Snake Creek. Martha and Cullen, you were all blessed to have each other, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
