Not sure what to say?

May Tom rest in peace
He was a kind man and friend to many of us in St.Louis♥

I was a vendor supplier of Memorex and IBM products to Tom's company. He was an honest, welcoming and a straight shooter. I respected him more then any customer I had in 40 years in the supplies business. Rest in peace, Tom. Mike Brenegan

I have sweet memories of "Tommy" from our childhood... He was my cousin, as well as my classmate at St. Michael's grade school. Tom 's family and mine lived on Devonshire in Shrewsbury back in the fifties! My late brother, John, and Tom were very good friends, bonded by their mutual love of horses. I recall Tom's devotion to John when my brother suffered long term illness from cancer. Tom was loyal and compassionate...always.
My heartfelt sympathy is extended to all Tom's beloved...

To Tom's family I extend my heartfelt sympathy...While I didn't know Tom all that well, he was a friend of my sister, Lois Jean Holman, who went to St Elizabeth's in Crestwood, and then to Bishop DuBourg High School with him. They were friends thru the years with Bill Woeger (now Brother Bill), Sally Roy, & Margie Elders. My sister was 7 years older than I, so what memories I have of their friendship is...they were supportive of one another and were True friends ...all of them as a group. My...

I truly believed Tom fleming was one of the people who would live forever. From our first meeting when we became neighbors, we knew we had hit the jackpot. Tom and Mitch were the best neighbors: insisting we have the "snow party" the first time we ran off the road in the neighborhood; riding around with drinks in our four wheelers; letting my kids have little jobs to learn responsibility; helping support my son Cole with his eagle scout project; being their first trick or treaters and...

Tom is one of my mentors. In addition to kindness and generosity he was a brilliant businessman. One of his rare skills was assessing his own strengths and those of others. He recognized that his creativity and leadership would blossom if he partnered with Jack Easterling. Together they transformed “Good to Great”. It’s gratifying to see Sean and his team prosper now.

Tom donated his business acumen to the City of Chesterfield in 1993 when the flood devastated us. He spent...

Tom was an amazing, remarkable man and a great role model. Tom gave me my very first job as an intern at DM, and I’ll always be grateful to him for that. It was an exciting and formative experience, and I learned so much from it. I also have such fond memories of taking care of his wonderful pets over the years while growing up in the neighborhood. I will miss Tom deeply and am keeping Tom and his family in my prayers.

Tom was a very kind and welcoming man. I am blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers to his lovely wife Mitchell, smiling son Todd, and other family members.

Tom!
What can I say? We played some great baseball & basketball in grade and high school. Lots of great memories! Glad we got to hunt together. You went on to become an exceptional professional businessman, husband, and raised an outstanding family. You did it all!!
You will be missed.
