Tom was a life member of AFTAC Alumni Association, West Coast Chapter and a frequent attendee at our spring picnics. Born just 12 days after me, he was a personal friend of mine as we worked together as “C” and “U” system technicians in the 1960's. We reminisced about old times during our occasional meetings while shopping in the McClellan commissary. I'll miss his always-friendly attitude and warm smile. Dale Klug 916-675-2731
