Not sure what to say?

As a young Senate staffer in the mid-1980´s, Tom was immensely generous in helping me navigate and distill volumes of information. He was passionate about his job and kind to a fault...never speaking ill of anyone. While I feel privileged to have worked with Tom, albeit briefly, I regret not having kept in touch with him after I left the senate. My condolences for your loss. He was a true gentleman.

My deepest condolences to Barbara and family. Tom and I shared a passion for Polish history and culture. We exchanged speaking appearances in Harrisburg and Philadelphia for our Polish groups. We would enjoy meals out together and had Elspeth and I over in Harrisburg after we got married in 1991.

So sorry to learn of Tom's passing. He was always very helpful to me when we worked together at the State Library. My sincere condolences to his family.

We had the privilege of being neighbors of Tom's for many years. He was always so thoughtful and kind. We miss him, as do many on Green Street.

Tom spent time as the Senate of Pennsylvania Librarian and was a helpful friend and colleague to many. His humor and knowledge assisted many in the Capitol.

Condolences to family, friends.

I'm sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I knew him from the Cathedral and St. Lawrence in Harrisburg. As well as many Polish events through the years. May the Lord grant him eternal rest.
