Tom's commitment to traffic safety will live on as a legacy of fewer and fewer unnecessary deaths on our highways. He was an inspiration to many in the field and a mentor and friend to my late wife, Kathy Swanson, who was able to continue Tom's work at Traffic Safety after his well-deserved retirement. I will always remember Tom for his gracious good humor.

Dorie and family,
You have my sympathy in the loss of Tom. We had lots of good times at Green Lake at the home of Skoogs. Take care.

I am so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. He was an inspiring highway safety leader and a good friend. He left a legacy in MN when he retired. He was one of the good guys.

Sue and I were so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. As you know Tom was a GIANT in the HS field nationally and especially in Region 5. We could always count on Tom for thoughtful discussion and HS counter measure implementation- with one goal to save lives and injuries of the people of MN and nationally. As I sure you will remember the old piano bar Tom and Tom Enright did a great job singing at in the 70's, now they both are together again hopefully singing their hearts out.
