I spent many a day working next to Tom, some 40 years. When I would be writing a report, or some other document, there would always be a word I was looking for but could never come up with it -- uncannily, he would ALWAYS came up with the word I was looking for. We also fished together for about the same period of time. He got me started into tying trout flies; and of course his were always better than mine. We had what you would call a friendly rivalry going when it came to fishing; and I must admit I learned a lot form him. I also had the pleasure of going bird hunting with him and his well-trained dogs - he took great pride in his hunting dogs. We spent many quality times together and I miss him, and think of him often. May his memory be eternal and may the good Lord remember Tom in His kingdom.

To my long-time good friend:

May the good Lord remember you in his kingdom, and may your memory be eternal.

I will always cherish the years we spent working together at McDonnell and hunting and fishing. You were always my mentor and favorite landsman! I will miss you greatly!
