Dear Gloria and family, I offer my deepest condolences to you loss, a recent discovery for me. Dr. Pappas was a great mentor and wonderful storyteller.

Dear Tommer,
It’s been a year you are away from us, but we never forget the laughters , love , caring you brought to our family. The most important thing you worked so hard in Shenzhen University in order to get Christina and Larry Pappas to join with you here in Los Angeles. Following you all the way to USC campus, you said I was your greatest product as a teacher working at LAUSD.
Never forget our first meeting as your interpreter, “ Christina, What’s your dream? “

Dear Gloria and Connie, I was once Dr. Pappas' office assistant at Anderson. Yes, I graded papers but I also watched Connie at your apartment while Gloria took classes. I traveled in that first over seas trip that he lead for 2 months. Awesome teacher and gentleman.

Dear Gloria,
I am so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I believe I met Tom on at least two occasions, and each time I recognized he was a man with stories to tell. He had such a twinkle in his eye, and an extraordinarily rich life to accompany it.
Thinking of you and your family.

Dr Pappas was a friend, a mentor, and a blessing to me with a twinkle of motivation mixed in.He has lead me to a "not giving up" mastery in my life. With is inspiration and my promise, I am still trying to get my teachers license even after my hardships I still take that path. I will always be talking to him while he guides me from above. Bless you Dr Pappas and you will always guide me through life. Your in my heart forever.
Your student and friend,

Our condolences to you Gloria and Connie. "Uncle Tom" was very special to me. I liked that he took me down to the Financial Center to learn about the stock market back in late 1970's at WPC. I liked how he shared warmed Vernors with our family. I remember having a cook-out at your house in Anderson using newspaper. With love, Julie & RJ Jackson and for the Fritzlers. Tom sure loved my dad Gil Fritzler. God Bless You!!!
