Mrs.T, the Coach was much more than that to all of us who played for him.Many more life lessons were discussed on/off the ballfield.He pushed us to be better players, but more importantly, better teammates and young men, on the way to adulthood.Coach had a profound effect on a lot of us,and he mattered, of the field as well.

Tom and Family -
My condolensces to you all. Your Dad was simply a "Legend". He was a great life teacher to many...using the ballfield to do it...what a great place to be as we know. Following in your Dad's footsteps using his principals with your very own style I'm sure made him very, very proud. I'm sorry I will not be able to make it over to Funeral Home. But please know I send my thoughts and prayers over to you and yours and hope you're well pal.

Dear Doris....We extend our sympathy to you and your beautiful family. Tom always held a warm spot in my heart. I remember Tom during my teenage years and how I looked up to him as a great athlete. Later in life we had the opportunity to get together on the athletic field or at many social gatherings. He always had a special greeting for you under any circumstance. Everyone admired his courage in dealing with his health problems. He was one strong individual and will be missed by all.
