Read MoreI was sorry to hear of Mr. Byrd's passing....It was always a pleasure to see him at the pool or track to hear him talk about Ft.Lauderdale history. He had a wry, almost Britanic sense of humour, which when rendered in that inimitable baritone, illuminated his uniqueness....

Tom and I both swam on the FLHS swimming team under Coach Tom Lamar. When I got out of the Marines, he put me to work at CZ&B -- where he taught me so much. He was the quintessence of what a lawyer and a father should be. Garie and I will miss you, Tom.

I've known Tom for five years, during my tenure with the University of Florida Foundation and Alumni Association. He was a true gentleman, an asset to both the community and the Gator Nation. He will be missed by all of us who know the value of refined and caring people.

He assisted me with the legal work to buy my duplex in 1971. He hosted my wedding reception at his duplex in Wilton Manors in 1972. When I had to work late, he would pick up my sons at...
