Mr. Hanley was my art teacher at Woonsocket High School in 1959 and 1960. He was the inspiration that led to my lifelong career in the arts. I still have the screenprint I made in his class. I didn't realize at the time what an exceptional teacher he was. My heartfelt wishes to his family.

My husband and I are one of the very fortunate recipients of one of Tom's beautiful prints. We have treasured it for over 22 years. Tom was an amazing cook as well and we remember found dinners with Tom and Claire during visits at the Cape. We can honestly say it has been an honor knowing Tom and his beautiful family. The world is a more beautiful place having had both Tom and Claire in it. Sharon & Jim Raesly
