William T. Deason

On a special trip flying with Tom out of Piedmont's Norfolk base ,I was a new F/O and little did I know when this F/A introduced herself to Tom and I ,we would be together 40 years later. Tom was a true gentleman and excellent aviator . He was a true Christian ,we will never forget him

Captain Tom....I hope there are motorcycles in heaven so you, me, Doc Royer,Bill Backas and all the long distant Pilot riders in ORF can ride together again. What great times we had. Save me a seat. Rest in quiet pease my good freind.

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We were based together in Washington D.C. with Piedmont and everyone loved flying with him as he was so much fun...I can still hear his laugh and see his beautiful smile. We called him "Tom Terrific". As Joanie said, he was a real gentleman. Condolences to the family...what a wonderful father and grandfather you had!

Sorry to hear of Tom's passing. A great friend and pilot colleague in Norfolk, VA. RIP Tom!

So sad to hear of Tom's passing. A true gentleman! Deepest condolences to his family..

I was an F/O on the B737 based in ORF . Tom was a Capt at that time also . I flew several trips with him . what a great guy ,easy going and excellent pilot. On one particular trip with him , this one particular F/A walked onboard ,who happens to be my wife of 28 years. we are very saddened to hear of Tom's passing . we will never forget him . Our sincere condolences to his family

I always looked forward to flying with Tom.

I am so saddened by the passing of Tom, who was a good friend through the years. His wife, Penny, and I were in the same class "stewardess" training. Sadly, I remember well when she died. Tom and I were based in Norfolk at the time. Tim was a wonderful man, a true gentleman, and a good Christian man.
