Till then. Seper FI....Rich

I learned of Tom's passing just this evening and I'm sitting here feeling the loss of a great friend. Growing up together we shared many great adventures, both in and out of school. Tom was a great listener and always had a warm caring way of winning friends. His laugh was sincere and his smile was one that said he truly cared. It was easy to get a laugh out of Tom. He was a sincere person and a rock. It was an honor to call him your friend. Even though we didn't get to see each other often...

Tom was a great guy, a good friend that I had not seen in years, We worked together at Whitehall and he was in our neighborhood. One memory I will not forget is a Penn game when it was extremely cold and snowing and we went with Don Patti. Always had a great smile and great personality, will miss him and my condolences to Pat.

My sincere thoughts are with your family at this most difficult time. May your memories comfort you in the days ahead and may the God of all comfortcomfort you at this time.1 Cor. 2:3,4

My condolences to the entire family. Not only was Tom and Pat neighbors as I was growing up, but I also worked with Tom at Crown. signed..Deb (Barnes) Grimes

May God sustain you at this time of such great loss. He comforts an soothes us Psalms 94:19
