Thomas J. Petit

With great sadness and a very heavy heart I learned today that Tom Petit is no longer physically with us - he was a true mentor to me and a blessed human... I loved his frankness, wit and charm - he always knew exactly what to say (whether I wanted to hear it or not) and he was always honest, kind and real. I feel truly blessed to have known him - his words and smile will always be with me...there isn't a day that goes by where I don't see some magical flicker of light and amazing spark of...

tom petit, your spirit opened the minds of so many students at NESOP.your honesty and openness, you were a channel for a higher wisdom with that twinkle in the blue of your eyes, your devoted love for photography, the gift that you were and are to us will never be forgotten.
i miss you.
and i love you.
thank you for making such an impression on my heart.

Mr. Petit,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
