I grew up watching Commander Tom show and I met Mr. Jolls once in an elevator at Mercy Hospital and got his autograph. Such a nice and friendly person,to take the time to talk to a young fan and give his autograph is a memory I cherish.Rest in Peace Commander you will be loved and missed by not only your family but all your fans that watched you on tv.

I am so sad to hear of Tom Jolls passing since I knew Irv Weinstein and some of the Dialing for Dollars crew. Did a commercial once for Weight Loss Clinic and got to meet some people at channel 7. My friend, Peter Scaccia knew Irv Wienstein. I took some music lessons from Johnny Johnson the organist for Dialing for Dialers. My sincere condolences to Tom's family.....May they have better days moving forward....God love the channel 7 crew......RAYMOND HOELSCHER

Once upon a time, I was interviewed on live TV by Commander Tom, regarding a community organization I was working for. He sensed my anxiety, and put my mind at ease. He was compassionate, friendly and a true professional. The City of Good Neighbors lost a legend. My condolences to his family and friends. He touched many lives in a positive way. Cherish the memories.
