May all the good you did for others be long remembered and honored. You had the smile that told us you were up to mischief, but it was always good. Your kindness and presence at our BRAA luncheons will be missed.

I was so sad to hear about Tom's passing. He always had a smile on his face and a clever quip for his friends. I enjoyed seeing him when he was the Principal of Burgard HS and more recently at the various Retired Buffalo Administrators' Luncheons. My prayers are for all of his loved ones during this time of loss.
