Served briefly with Tom in C Battery 3rd of the 13th 25th Infantry top notch troop! Rest In Peace my brother

i worked with Tom for many years. He was consistently a bright spot, a calming moment and a friendly face in our stressful work environment. I think everyone liked Tom. He added to our lives. My sincere condolences to his family.

Tom & I were best buddies in grade school years @ St. Mike's. He was a great guy as his obit lays clear, and lived a life worth the attention from friends and family. I'll miss running into him on occasion...maybe later, I hope.

As many who have commented, I worked with Tom for many years at (now) DHHS. He always had a positive attitude...I enjoyed being his co-worker. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Tom. He was a wonderful man. May God Bless Tom and his family. Tom and all of you, will be in my prayers.

Uncle Tommy - I’ll always remember our family gathering at Bishop Airport for your return from Viet Nam, your wedding to beautiful Aunt Diane, your ready smile and endless compliments. You were a wonderful example of a man who adored his children and worked hard in career, relationships and passionate interests right up until the end. Rest in pain-free peace in the company of Mom, Uncle Bob, Lady and Grandma and Grandpa. Xoxo

I was privileged to know Tom as a co-worker and friend. He worked hard but was always up for a practical joke. He had a great sense of humor & brought much joy to those who knew him. Even when he was going through dark times, he was consistently kind & gracious to those around him. He was one of a kind & will be greatly missed.

Tom was such a sweetheart, we were cousins and went to grade school together. Tom always had a great smile and I don’t ever remember him speaking ill of anyone. All we Lynch’s cherished our relationship. My prayers are with the family.

Uncle Tom thanks for your service, you always had a kind word and a positive attitude, even while enduring your own long and difficult health issues. You'll be missed deeply, but your memories will be cherished always. Rest easy.
