Very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I would've come to the funeral but just saw the notice today (same day as). I worked for Tom when he was the manager of Telecommunications at GSU. He was great to work for! He always thought of the best for the department and encouraged us all. We all thought he was a great guy and loved him very much! As he encouraged us, we encourage his family. We will truly miss him.

Dear Barbara, John, Vickie, and Elizabeth,
My deepest sympathies to you all. Your daddy was a very sweet and loving person, I have alot of fond memories of him (especially the crush I used to have on him!) I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Although it is hard to understand know that he is dancing with all of his loved ones up heaven.
Love to all of you,
Dennise
