We will always keep in our minds and hearts Tom's joy of living, kindness, hospitality and the true friendship he showed us. During our stay in the US, Tom welcomed us in his house and was our guide through the beauties of Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks; we spent an unforgettable weekend at his place and we'll always save the memory of this very friend of ours.

Our prayers and thoughts go to his family and loved ones.

We will always think of Tom as a young running man, kind to everybody and full of joy. We will never forget him driving us through the Appalachian Mountains and showing us the Kitty Hawk Memorial. Our prayers go to his family. (Marco Gherlone, Massimiliano Mattone, Torino, ITALY)

Pat: I will always remember Tom for the friendship & support he gave me when we first met in 1975 & thru our years working together at PAS. My condolences to you & all of his family.

Tom was always a friendly person to see and run with at the races. I have many fond memories of the different races run on the Peninsula.He loved to run.Many years ago, I was his partner in one of the couple race with the PTC. We did not win an award , the competition was though in our age group, but he was very happy about that race.
My condolences to his family.

My life changed the day Tom asked me to volunteer at Social Actions at Langley AFB in 1976. Supervisor, friend, mentor, confidant - he was all of these things to me. I will miss knowing that he is in this world - Julia you are the best thing that ever happened to him and your love for him allowed him to continue to love and help his friends. Peace.

Pat,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I never had the chance to know him but I know he raised a terrific son. Our hearts and prayers go to you and your entire family at this time of such a great loss.

Tom was a great boss, co-worker and friend. He was warm, caring and generous, doing all he could to help soldiers transition from the Army. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ray family. Tom will be sorely missed.
