I worked with and talked to Tom on an almost daily basis during our years at USPS. We had a lot in common as RHS grads and Viet Nam survivors. Always informed, always smart and funny. Rest in peace Thomas.

Being a '65' graduate of RHS, Tom and I had a few classes together over the four years together. He was a great guy and very well mannered, but quite quiet as well. My condolences goes out to his entire family and may he RIP for all eternity.

Another Vietnam brother who died way too early from Agent Orange exposure. May you rest in peace. Your service will not be forgotten.

I went to school with Tom. We both graduated in 1965. What I admire and respect most is Tom's military service to the United States of America. I feel Tom's body is now without pain. In talking with Herman I know you are loved by all you have met. Let Pease be with your family & friends.

I'm sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I was on the 1965 Tri-Rive Conference Champion Wrestling team with him. He not only was a very good wrestler but a great teammate. RIP
