THOMAS SAMUEL DAVIS

Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate. Don't forget to take the commissioning pennant with you.

Losing a spouse is the worst thing that ever happened to me. That was fifteen years ago, Sue. As I think you know, I am carrying on. I will never forget Tom and Con Hiden carrying me in to sick bay that night when the sea tried to get me. I was unable to walk and barely conscious. May God bless him and welcome him home.

Tom will be missed at the ponch reunions. God bless you and your family .

We are sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

On behalf of Tom´s many friends in the USS Ponchatoula Shipmates Association, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Susan and his family on his passing. Tom was on the pre-commissioning crew of the "Ponch" in 1955 and was a revered "Plank Owner" as a member of the first crew that sailed our proud ship in 1956. Tom and Susan were devoted to the Association, attending our biennial reunions and contributing their warmth and steadfast presence to our organization. We will miss Tom mightily. ...

I´m so very sorry to hear this news of Tom. I worked with Tom for over 10 years at DEP in Water Supply! He was a very intelligent, sweet, big hearted and I must say unique in a good way. I´ve always enjoyed his stories, suggestions and advice. He had an infectious laughter too. A very happy man. I´m sure he will be sadly missed by his family and friends as I am as well. RIP Tom! My sincere condolences Tonee Suda

So sorry Susan. Keeping you in my prayers.
