Not sure what to say?

Tom and I worked together at Corning Comm. College in the early 70's. He a Sociology
Professor and I a Counselor with a Bachelors degree in Sociology. We spent many happy hours discussing our mutual interest in sociology and student development. We could not have had a more different upbringing with him having gone to one room rural schools and me growing up in Brooklyn, NY. Perhaps his enthusiasm for sailing rubbed off on me as I continue to sail to this day. I know I loved Tom and his...

I had the fortune to work with Dean Wisbey at SVCC. He was a great educator with a kind and caring heart. Keeping his family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dee, I am so sorry about Tom. This must be rough on you and your family. I did meet him a few times in church. Very nice guy. You take good care of yourself. Much love sent your way, Dee and family.

Karen I am so sorry to hear about Tom. Chris and I met him only a few times, I remember him as being so sweet. Our sympathy to you and your family.

I enjoyed getting to know Tom at Southside Virginia Community College and will always remember his laughter and kindness. My sincere condolences are extended to the family.

Tom was a great friend and mentor to me at SVCC as a new dean. I am so sorry to hear this news. Thoughts and prayers to family and friends. I know he will be missed.

Karen and family, I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I enjoyed getting to know Tom since I moved to Laurel Lane a year ago. He was one of the first neighbors to greet me and we crossed paths many times on our walks to the dock. Tom pointed out the two seals that sit together on a rock at low tide. I will think of him each time I see them.

The Wisbey Family,

All of us at TKE International Headquarters were saddened to hear about the passing of Thomas. We know he was a great and passionate member. We also appreciate his service in the Army. Our thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

Sincerely, TKE Staff
