Tom was such a special person who touched so many people of all ages. As a volunteer for many years for the Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired doing Disability Awareness in area elementary schools he touched and made an impact on so many young children. Far more than he knew, he meant so much to so many, he will be greatly missed!

Tom was a good friend and neighbor of ours in the Resident Services Dept at Friendship Village. We will miss his daily greetings and stops by the office. I will always remember him for his drive to educate those with visual limitations to all that was available to them to help them enjoy life and maintain their independance. Truly a great man.
