Not sure what to say?

This is very sad to me. What a wonderful man. I spoke to him in 2016, for the first time in many years. He did not even mention his health condition. He left an indelible mark on my heart and on my life.

Phyllis and family, I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing..although we did not have a lot of contact in recent years, Tom heard about our losing our home in one of the California fires and did communicate with me..We did have some good adventures during some of our college years ..Tom used to come out to California before school started and we would meet at the "top of the Mark" ...He was a distant but dear friend..He will be missed by many..and will be in my thoughts ...My very best Regards...

So sorry for your lost. May God give you comfort . He will make you firm, he will make you strong,he will firmly ground you.1 peter 5:10

Dear Phyllis and the Nagle Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Tom was always my loyal and trusted friend through so many events, and all the years, we shared together.
He was the best of the best.
I will miss him greatly.
My sincerest sympathy.

Dear Phyllis,
Adele and I so very sorry to read about Tom's death and send you our best regards. As you know, we both knew Tom as a Caltrans lawyer and we have many happy memories of him. We also met you in those good old days. I enjoyed playing tennis with Tom a number of times and he was so much fun to be with. He had a great sense of humor. We worked on a number of cases together and he was a very able lawyer as well as an all around good guy. I know he will be missed by you and...

I cannot remember a single day when Tom entered the office without a smile even when he was embroiled in one of the many difficult cases he handled. His pleasant and calm demeanor contributed to his success as a litigator, counselor, and mediator, but it also made him one of those really special people who everyone in the office wanted to be around because he was such a really good person. And then there were the bears at one point I recall that a conference in his office had to be...

Tom Nagle offered to be a sponsor of mine to the lawyers' society American Board of Trial Advocates. Thanks to him, I became a member; one of the great honors of my professional life. I also knew Tom through another lawyers' group, The American Inns of Court. Although a man of tremendous experience and accomplishment, he was interested in and respectful of the newest attorney. Always ready with a smile or a laugh, he was a consummate gentleman, respected and liked by peers and Judges...

On February 14, 1989 Tom and I were trying a high exposure case together in Livermore, borrowing a single desk in the local city attorney's office as our war room. First of all, Tom had dropped a valentine on my side of the desk that morning--such a sweet and friendly gesture. So like him. Second of all, the night before I had found an abandoned puppy in my neighbor's car which I had agreed to take until I could get him to the Humane Society. This was a mistake as the puppy cried all...

I can still remember playing hockey on the Rahway River in Cranford back in 1950's with Tom, Salty, Bill Rosencrantz,Rob Lawrence and many others. He was always a nice guy !!
