Very sorry to hear of Tom´s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Shirley, Eric,AJ and the entire family. I remember Tom in many ways. He was my pony league coach the summer of, I believe, 1968. Later, Tom and I would hunt pheasant and play golf but I admired him most for the impact he had on the students at Tri-Valley. Tom will be greatly missed.

Tom was a great man. He was somewhere between a favorite uncle and a second father to me. He taught me valuable lessons that I still practice today. I will never forget his wise words and his contagious laughter. I will miss him, but will never lose his positivity in my life.

Tom was a great man who was very much respected by me, my children, and my wife. Not only was he a great influence on hundreds of young people, but also old people like me who felt so blessed to know him. Any day I spent with Tom was a good day. I will miss you a lot. RIP my friend.

I have never heard a bad word about Tom Boward! He was the same, all the time, to everyone. He was a person that was able to meet everyone where they were and was supportive and encouraging to many. He will be missed! Thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family for comfort and peace . He left a legacy that will not soon be forgotten.
