Age 69
It has been a number of years since I
visited Lafayette, but as a former Plant
Manager I knew Tom well. He was an
outstanding person and a tribute to those
who serve a greater cause. We attended the same church and Tom gave many years
to his faith.

On behalf of Arlene Beaurain & her family, please accept our deepest sympathy. Tom was a little older than me, but I remember him playing basketball with the younger cousins & having to chaperone us with Marlys & Sandi when the aunts & uncles would send us to the movies (to be out of their way). May God's peace & your wonderful memories be with you always.

Andi and Family,
I was so sad to receive the news about your Dad passing away. My heart breaks as I know this is such a sad time for the family. I am thankful I was able to meet Tom a few times and spend 1 day at the park with him and Oliver. Frances still talks about that day . He seemed like such a sweet person.
I am praying for you all.
Love

I can hardly believe I am typing this knowing I will never be able to laugh with Tom again. Pam... Jessica... Andi... You dont need me to tell you this... You know it better than all of us. Tom was one of a kind. Tom had an uncanny ability to make you feel important when he walked into the room, and he was the kind of person who was missed the moment he left. When Tom and I would talk there did not seem to be a single clock in the room. His sense of humor and ability to joke with you...
