Not sure what to say?

When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I think this definitely could be said of Tom. He was a remarkable person who will be missed always by so many friends, co-workers and students. RIP Tom. So hard to say good-bye.

Tom, you were an incredible mentor and friend during our days with the Times Call. I learned so much from you. Your calm demeanor and quick wit was such a refreshing change for a leader. It looks like you accomplished so much in your life and I know so many will mourn your loss. Prayers to your wife and family during this incredibly difficult time.

With many memories and fun days. Tom worked with me and for me at the TC/Reporter Herald for many years when I was advertising director. So sorry to hear of his death. William (Bill) and Martha Johnson

This brought tears - for many people, I'm sure. I worked with Tom at Moore and Company in the 1980s - he was such an intelligent man with an amazing sense of humor. We had not talked till a couple of years ago when we made contact via LinkedIn - My husband and I wanted to visit and meet Susan, his wife, but as life happens - we did not. And, we so regret that. Heartfelt condolences to Susan and his family and friends.

I was a Loveland Reporter-Herald reporter when Tom headed up the Advertising Department. He helped create a great camaraderie inside and outside of the office with a calm wit and friendly manner. He has been and will be missed. - Gregg Piburn

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We were friends in Colorado in the 70's and 80's. I was also a close friend of Ragan's. I am sorry these two amazing guys are no longer on this earth. Please accept my condolences for your loss. Sincerely, Linda MICKLE
