Thomas Jonathan Foss

Dear
Pat,
I had the chance of working with Tom during my ten years in Colorado.
Tom, Lee and I had numerous lunches together where I was the baby
listening to my fathers who shared stories about StorageTek of course
and more importantly, like brothers in arms, their kidney transplants.
This is with sadness Lee informed me about Tom. This is with joy we
know he is in his peaceful journey and will always be with us in any
way. Please accept my family's deep sympathy, our...

Tom is a member of the Good Guys, always, Tom knew you, even in a crowd with a 1000 things that he was chasing after. Yes, we will all have fond memories of Mr. Tom Foss. May he rest in the Grace and Peace available to those who seek it and may his family have that peace that transcends all understanding.

Dear Pat, Kala, Joel, Mike & Zachary,
When I think of Tom I just feel very warm inside, so happy to have known him and blessed to have been a friend. We didn't see him alot in the past years and yet I never felt that time distanced the friendship. We went through alot of challenges with our kids throughout the years but they all came out pretty fantastic! Tom will always live in my heart, knowing there really never is any seperation. We will all see each other again!
I love you all. Cat

Kala, Mike, Joel, Zach, and Pat
Just want you all to know that Tom's memory lives within all of us and we are all so blessed in knowing him. I personaly will always remember his smile and his tinkle in his eyes. Plus, I will never forget his driving lectures about driving in snow, especially the one we got coming down Flagstaff in a blizzard.
My thoughts and prays are with you and I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Love always

I recall Tom much the same way that others have already mentioned: patient, dedicated, resourceful, willing to drop other priorities and help someone with a problem....All these exemplar characteristics while he was going through his kidney transplant and recovery.

I remember his office being filled with a huge array of things that undoubtedly allowed him to come up with solutions in a hurry! When I look back at those STK years, he was a shining example of how to get things...

I only knew Tom for a few short years with my participation in the STK Forum events. Through this I was fortunate to get to know a man who cared deeply for his coworkers and would work tirelessly to complete a task. Tom could always find a way to make something happen or get any issue worked out. He was amazingly resourceful!

May God bless you and your family and provide many chances for you to reflect and remember the great times you shared.

Pat, May you and your family have blessed memories for all the years you had together. Tom was a remarkable man and I enjoyed the many years I worked with him at StorageTek, particularly during our FORM events. Your in my thoughts & prayers.

I will always be grateful to Tom for his tireless service to the Youth of Unity and for his friendship.


With his volunteer work at the regional level, he mentored hundreds of teens every year. Tom was an exemplary role model--exhibiting strength, but also gentleness, wisdom, patience, and a light heart. His influence will be ongoing, and his smiling presence will be greatly missed.
