Tom: May the angels welcome you into God's Kingdom with open arms. Thanks for all the work you did for many at JCU and those victimized by life's tragedies. Your friend and colleague at JCU. Dr. Walt ( JCU Class of 63.) Also on staff at JCU 1971-2006.

My sincere condolences! Nothing but nice memories with Uncle Tom and my Dad!
