I miss you

As a graduate assistant I worked for Tom during the 1970-71 school year. He was a great advisor and guiding me through a tough first graduate year. RIP

Tom was my friend and dance partner. I miss his daily emails.

Hi

Tom was a gentleman in the true sense of the word.

Please accept my condolences for your (and our) loss. Thomas will be greatly missed but his memory will continue to be an inspiration for the rest of us.

I never heard Tom say either an unkind or self aggrandizing word. He was very generous with his time and use of his teaching and listening skills.

I'll miss Tom at the Sac Valley CFIDS/FM Support Group we attended. I always enjoyed his kind and supportive presence. Rest in peace, Tom.

I worked with Tom in a long-ago campaign to elect Bill Durston, and spent time with him in Gray Panthers and the Older Women's League. `He made it a point to participate on every important issues campaign. He was tireless, in spite of his illnesses.
He will be missed.
