It was my honor to attend the State & Local Government Executive Seminar at the Harvard JFK School with Tom Villa years before I joined Missouri State Government as Director of Social Service. Tom and I were in the same Harvard Study group and stayed up all night working on cases together. Tom was smart, competent, practical and a pleasant classmate. Later when I joined MO, Government during a challenging time, Tom reach out to be and guided me helping to positive reenforce my efforts....

My condolences to Tom´s family. What a great sense of humor he had. In 1982 I met Tom while working in the Capitol; he convinced me to move Speaker of the House Bob Griffin´s car so he could park in his spot. The prank got a lot of laughs. Mostly from me and Tom.

Karen, A fiend informed me of tom.s passing. I am sorry to hear of it. But the fond memories evoked of Tom and you befriending this ole Southern boy while I was at SLU brought a smile to my face. What a pleasant chapter in my life ! fondly, Bigelow Robinson 8641 SW 88th Loop Ocala, Fl. 34481

Tom followed me as the Majority Floor Leader of the House of Representatives. I like to think I was the best, but Tom may have exceeded me as a leader. From rural Missouri, I salute the City's great leader Tom Villa. Tom, my friend rest in peace, and know that you did well for your City and State. Joe Holt, Fulton MO

I remember Tom reaching out to me when I had a legal problem and his advice and support helped me through a difficult situation.This has made an important contribution to my life.

I served with Tom as a state rep. He was a great guy. God bless him and his family.
