My sincere condolences. He was a jovial, kind person. His smile and blue eyes will always be remembered. Continue in love. God bless his earthly family. May has memories comfort you.

Tom and Rebecca are long time supporters of the New Mexico Navy League and helped our Council when the U.S. Navy named a Viginia-class submarine after our state, the USS NEW MEXICO (SSN-779). Tom and Rebecca even rode the submarine on a VIP cruise in 2009 with my wife and I and 12 other Navy League members. Our Council relied on Tom and Rebecca for many years helping with fundraising and sending many boxes of New Mexico items to crew members. May he rest in peace in the Grace and Mercy of...

I have known Tom for a long time! He mentored me when I first got started as a Blue and Gold Officer about 10 years ago. He was a good man and will be missed by many. My condolences go out to his family.

I guess it was predestined that we would know each other. You knew my mom. I graduated from St. Pius. I went on to work at MBP. You will always feel like a member of my extended family. My deepest condolences and love to the Gutierrez family. I hope the afterlife is a beautiful place. Save me a seat. Rest Easy Tom.

I didn´t know Tom very well but I know that he gave my son the confidence and support to apply and get into the Naval Academy....my son is now a Navy Seal Officer...I pray for Tom and thank him for his kindness!

Rebecca and family God comfort your hearts for Our Blessed Lord rewarded your Beloved Thomas Heaven and Grace; May the Perpetual Light shine upon Tom now and forever.

I knew Tommy through his family. We are distant in age, but Tommy always made it a point to greet me, whenever we met. We were both fond of recounting his story about a high school counselor who suggested he attend a vocational school, because he was not "college material." He graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy with an engineering degree! Rest in Peace, my friend.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of our dear friend Tom, I have so many fond memories of Tom and Rebecca during my years at NHCC Foundation. They always supported my MARAVILLA Gala and they would dance the night away. Tom was such a great gentleman and will be sorelyy missed. Sending thoughts and prayers from the Apodaca Family.
With Sympathy, Clara Apodaca
