I had the pleasure of being Tom's colleague in the CBT law department in the early 70s. He was an excellent lawyer and a really great guy. Always a musician, Tom had a sign on his office door - "Bach at 1:30, Offenbach at 1:00." He had a wicked sense of humor. I remember when he built a wooden "dignity meter" as a response to a suggestion that we were, on occasion, "not dignified enough."
Requiescat in pace, Tom

I am sorry to read of Tom's passing. He was a good man. I served with him for many years in the Guard and he always was there to provide help when needed. I am sorry for your loss.

Tom was my boss when we both worked in the Legal Dept of CBT. I did a lot of his Air Force and music documentation. A lot of years have past but I remember Tom fondly. My sympathy to his family.

Tom was a gentleman and a scholar. He had strong principles and he stood by them. The world is a lesser place now that he has passed.

PLease accept my deepest condolences. Tom and I knew each other well while at St. Mike's but not so much afterwards. He will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Tom and I traveled together extensively via Vermont Transit some 50 years ago as members of the SMC Glee Club. I was deeply saddened to hear another member from the Class of '64 will not make our 50th reunion. But I know that Tom is singing now in God's choir and will be looking down on us all next year.
