So very sad to hear this news. I met Tom through the MMC over thirty years ago. I'll always remember him as a thorough, precise, and respectful person. His stories of skydiving added a new perspective to those of us flying with our feet firmly planted on the ground. Condolences shared with all who were fortunate enough to know him...

I worked with Tom for over ten years. We both were part of a bigger "lunch gang" where we discussed everything from parenting (yes, you Kyle ..LOL) and politics. I will miss his dry sense of humor the most. May his memory be a blessing.

Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Tom's family. We were friends in high school, and we spent many hours watching Tom fly model planes with my dad, Joseph Karpowich, and brother Jay. Tom's stories of jumping from planes always terrified me! My husband has many stories of golfing with Tom and Jay. We feel so sad about losing touch over the years. Rest well, Tom, and happy trails.

I was very sad to learn of Tom's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Tom periodically over the last 12 years. He was such a bright, hard-working engineer. Tom often spoke of his family, particularly Zach, as well as his passion for airplanes and rockets. He will be missed very much by so many people. I offer my sincere condolences to Tom's family.

Tom was one of the nicest and friendliest person I have had the pleasure of meeting.We had many conversations about modeling and his sky diving experiences.He will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Tom.

Tom always had a kind world for everybody. Every time I saw him it seemed that Zack, his son was with him. I truly will miss having conversation with him at our model club meetings.
For what it's worth I believe that when we pass on we go to a much better place where we are reunited with loved ones who have passed on before us. It is a simple belief which has given me much comfort in unhappy times as I hope it gives the Reavely family now.

Tom was one of the kindest souls that I have ever encountered. He was a fellow modeller and member at SME and NJIPMS, but more importantly my friend. We all remembered and talked about you, tonight at our meeting. You will truly be missed.
We should all be so lucky to meet someone as kind as you.
