Not sure what to say?

Tom was a tireless leader of the City's Planning Commision. He spent literally thousands of hours of valuable service for the benefit of Ludington. Many of the public improvements in Ludington are the product of Tom and other Planning Commisioners hard work. He will be missed. It was my good fortune to have worked with him.

Sue and Chuck, I'm so sorry. Looks like your dad spent the last years living in a beautiful location! That was a great video.
One of my fondest memories was of him making the ice skating rink behind your house when we were kids. Say hello to your mom for me. Take care.

Thank you for all of the hard work you you did on the Planning Commission. You will be missed.

Tom was a good friend as well as a great co worker. Was always available when called upon. His expertise was unquestioned. His knowledge was always welcome. He will be missed by many. R.I.P.

Hi there. Sure am sorry to hear about your dad. I've often wondered about him and how he was doing. He and dad were good friends. We had some great times in Ludington, visiting the farm and fishing.

I worked for and with Tom for many years at MDOT. He was always a good friend and helped me through some tough times. I could always depend on him to be there for me.
I enjoyed working on the Employee Memorial with him and when it was dedicated, we shared a sense of satisfaction. Tom was a special person, cared for by many, who will be missed by many!! I will miss him dearly!! Rest in peace, TC. Love you!

Tom was not only a friend but an excellent engineer. his expertise was not only in soils but in diversified areas of highway design and construction. On many occasions, I would call him for advice on critical engineering problems. His death is a great lose to many of us.

Worked with Tom at MDOT for several years, always appreciated his approach to business and life, a little fluff with a lot of honesty. Heaven gets a good man and a good engineer ... Rest in Peace Tom!
