Thomas Hession

I graduated from TMHS in 1980. I have fond memories of Tom Hession, especially how he led a trip to Washington in the spring of our senior year. He was an excellent social studies and US History teacher and I enjoyed the "current events" contests he held on Fridays. I stopped in to see him periodically while attending Central Conn. State University where I received my BA in political science/public admin, inspired in part by him. I last saw Tom Hession in 1985, a year after I graduated from...

I'm very sorry for your loss. Even after all these years, I still remember Mr. Hession. He was a great teacher!

To Helen and the entire Hession family, My condolences. As indicated by many of his students, Tom was my favorite teacher and a friend throughout these years. He was truly a unique individual with a great sense of humor. I am so glad that I got to see him at his induction into the TMHS Hall of Fame ceremony. I will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to Mr Hession's family and friends. Truly one of the finest teachers I had at TMHS. He will be missed by many.

Tommy, my memories of you will live for ever.You were a great friend , and a great person to look up to.My condolences go out to your family. God Bless

Great teacher! Great guy! Many fond memories! He really knew how to laugh and enjoy life. Prayers and best wishes to Helen and the Hession family.

One of the greatest teachers I have ever known. My deepest sympathies to his family. TMHS Class of 1982

It's truly a sad day and a great loss to learn that Mr. Hession has passed away. Having been a student of his, I can tell you that he brought humor as well as a joy of learning to his classroom. His teaching style was unique in that he used dry humor to create an effective and mutually respectful environment. I will always remember the energy in his class during 'current events' as well as the carefully chosen nicknames he made up for several of my classmates.
