Judy & family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on Tom's passing. I enjoyed working with Tom for several years at the high school. We shared the same conference hour during the first few years of my teaching career, and I will always remember Tom's smile and fun sense of humor. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Mr. Baer was my geometry teacher and also my drivers training teacher in the early 90s. To this day, I continue to tell the story of how he couldn't believe I was no good at geometry, but somehow I was (and continue to be) quite good at parallel parking. I am very thankful for him and the many things he taught me. My heart goes out to his family.
